I loaded it on a new site I am working on and have not had too much time to dig in deep, but on first glance, I enjoy the wealth of info in the dashboard and that I can customize it, move it around.  So far, my favorite feature is the ability to upload plugins right from inside the dashboard, rather than have to find the plugin, ftp, extract, then activate.

One of these days I really must upgrade this blog.

<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>

and I need to put it somewhere that I will not misplace it.

I had to read thru a *lot* of rants by the above-mentioned person to find a template that shows posts from only one category on a static Wordpress page.  Beautiful!  And it works!  For some reason Wordpress does not make it terribly simple to do this.  Maybe I am not geek enough to “get” why it shouldn’t be done.  But, I have a client who wants it, it makes sense to me, so thank you to Monika from http://www.texto.de

I found a thread on the Wordpress forums that explains how to make a page hidden using Role Manager and a template for hidden pages.  You will have to read it yourself, I am mostly posting it here so I can always find it.

One thing I will say is that the login form does not work.  I modified the code so that it works for me, I think it was redirecting wrong.

<form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/wp-login.php" method="post">         <label>Username</label>

<input name="log" id="user_login" class="input" size="20" tabindex="10" type="text" />         <label>Password</label>

<input name="pwd" id="user_pass" class="input" size="20" tabindex="20" type="password" />
<p class="forgetmenot"><label>
<input name="rememberme" id="rememberme" value="forever" tabindex="90" type="checkbox" /> Remember Me</label>
<p class="submit"> <input name="wp-submit" id="wp-submit" value="Log In" tabindex="100" type="submit" /> <input name="redirect_to" value="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>" type="hidden" /></p>

<input name="testcookie" value="1" type="hidden" /> </form>
