New Login Page

August 3, 2006

Alex

Trying to sign in to WordPress.com? Visit the login page!

Sense something different today? Well, if not, log out of your blog and log back in again. Wait! What’s that? A new login page!

Okay, let me explain. A long time ago, there were seven guys, including myself, who started a project named Shuttle. Shuttle’s mission was to redesign the WordPress back-end and it sort of happened, but it didn’t go as far as we wanted it to. One of my missions here is to see that Shuttle finally makes its debut in whatever form we as a team see fit.

The login page is the first step towards that. Remember, baby steps. 🙂 This particular design was made by Michael Heilemann during the course of the project. I hope you like this little change, and be sure to expect lots of other changes to come.

    Well… I´ve noted a minor bug when using Firefox (at least) with the portuguese language… If I mistake my first password, the next screen shows “The I forgot the password” (in portuguese) over the Enter button, getting it difficult or impossible to press… A issue related with the portuguese translation (thanks again for it!)

    Apart a minor bug with the portuguese translation (reported to support) I found the new design very cool and swift! Great design work!

    Looks nice, but there appears to be a slight color difference between the main page background, and the background just behind the login box background. Main page background is slightly blue, but behind the login box is a gray. Otherwise, it looks alright.

    Nice one. Is that why I had to re-login so that I’d get to see the nifty design 😉 Probably just a coincidence! Keep up the good work.

    It seems to match the top navigation bar too.

    Great work, team.

    This is nice, along with that new admin bar. I’d still like to see more themes for WP.com (not the narrow ones, but ones that make better use of screen real estate) and a quick blog stats link added to the admin bar. AJAX for blog stats through the admin bar would be cool. But all these are the little things, the crux of why I embrace WP.com is its fantastic backend and bandwidth capabilities :). So kudos to all of you!

    It is rather beautiful. I bet it would look better if I had a 19 inch flat panel Mac monitor, but it’s still nice on my 15 inch beige beast.

    Good work.

    For you guys who can’t find the login page, it’s the per-blog login. Here’s an example:

    http://wordpress.com/wp-login.php

    The login page on the front page is still the best one to use.

    You can thank the good timing of the firefox update to me seeing the login page. For some reason when firefox updated and restarted it made me login to my blog again.

    It surprised me, but looked nice. Honestly, the login page doesn’t matter to me. I am more interested in the admin console like you described. I hope you take some thoughts from the Tiger Admin plugin.
