Ask Dmitri 0901: Modifying the Header Links

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Our fist question for Dmitri has arrived from BURAOT:

dmitri,

eto isa pa tanong. pano ko gagawin na yung header ko ay clickable to the main page(home)?
at pano gumawa ng extra page na “home”?
para kapag nasa ibang pages yung bwisitor ko, eh pede lang nila i hit yung “home” button or yung main header para bumalik sila sa 1st page.

tenkyu.

Let me translate that for everyone else to understand (here’s hoping that there really are someone elses here):

Dmitri,

How can I make my header to be clickable to the main page (home) to enable my visitors to be returned to the main page upon clicking the “home” button?

How to make an extra “home” page?

Thank you,

Buraot

Buraot has just migrated from blogspot to wordpress with Anak Ni Kulapo? Now he’s created another blog he calls IAMBURAOT.

At first, I was extremely confused about his questions so I have decided to visit his two blog. Truth indeed, his Wordpres Themes’ headers, un-like the usually Wordpress Themes, are not clickable – they are not linked.

Personalizing your Wordpress Login Page

If you’re running a community blog, it wouldn’t hurt to give your members a personalized welcome when they would login into the admin panel. Binary Moon has created a perfect Wordpress plugin to suit this purpose and they called it BM Custom Login Plugin. This would create an interface where you can change the entire look of your Wordpess login page. I love myself so I used it to give me a personalized welcome page when I’d try to login on my personal blog. Here’s how it looked like:

If you didn’t like the plugin but you still want to replace the Wordpress logo with you own brand, you could still do it by replacing the default Wordpress logo-login.gif image in the wp-admin/images directory folder. Here’s how:

1. In Adobe Photoshop, or whatever image editor suits you, create a new 326 x 80 pixel transparent image.
2. Embed and resize your own logo or branding that suits that image size.
3. Save your image as logo-login.gif and upload it in the wp-admin/images directory folder of your Wordpress blog.
