BLANK WordPress Theme

Thomas — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 13:00:06 +0000

There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I have a “blank” WordPress theme for myself, because I make a lot of WordPress themes. Starting from Kubrick, or any other pre-made theme, would be absurd. There is to much stuff there that would to be stripped out or fought against to be useful. So, I have my own. It’s been in a folder called BLANK-theme on my computer for a while, so I’m going to call it BLANK. And now I’m making it available for you. Read on to find out the scoop on it and you can decide if it would be of any use to you.

Custom WordPress Login Page

As many of you know, when it comes to WordPress you can do a lot of amazing things with it. It mainly depends on your skillset and how far you are willing to go. When it comes to clients though, they like to push you to the very edge with all kinds of crazy, interesting requests. But for me, crazy and interesting is a way for me to learn and become better and I also love a challenge.

Many times, clients have asked me how to modify the login screen so they can put their logo and have it linked back to the main page of the site. Normally, I would just go in and modify a few files and BAM….modified wordpress login screen. But it gets tedious and its not asked for very often, so I would have to go back an revisit a project and figure out what I had to do.

Recently, one of our team members brought something to my attention the other day that was really very cool and exciting. It was a way to add a custom wordpress login page to a theme. This was so simple I was amazed and I tried it our immediately and it worked beautifully. You can see it in action on our login page. You may be thinking to yourself “It isn’t that facy” and I agree with you. All we need to do is create one image file and we are done.

So I thought to myself, “why not add this to our conversions at no extra charge?” Seems like a good idea, so this will be included from here on out. Now you will be able to show your clients a login page with their logo, linked back to the main page and they will love you for it….trust me.
