There are times when you may want to customize the logo on the Wordpress admin panel login page (wp-admin). For example, I like to do this when I am building a Wordpress site that I am going to let the customer manage. It helps carry the brand and makes it easier for the customer to understand that they are in the right place. It is also fairly easy to do if you follow these four simple steps.
1. Produce an image file that is no larger than 328 x 84 and upload to the “images” directory on your server. If you don’t have an “images” folder, just create one and put this file in it.
2. Make a backup of the functions.php file that resides in your current theme directory in case something gets screwed up. The simplest way to do this is to copy the file to your local hard drive.
3. Copy and paste this code into the functions.php file that resides in your current theme directory.
function my_custom_login_logo() {
echo '<style type="text/css">
h1 a { background-image:url(/images/customlogofilename.png) !important; }
</style>';
}
add_action('login_head', 'my_custom_login_logo');
4. Change “customlogofilename.png” to reflect the file name and type of your image and save the functions.php file.
You should now see your new custom logo on your Wordpress admin login page. If not, make sure that you have the correct location and file name for your new custom logo.
Twitter is a popular social networking, micro-blogging service that allows users to post 140 character or less messages known as tweets. Those tweets are then publicly displayed on the author’s profile and are delivered to that author’s followers. Tweets fall into one of several categories, from spam and self-promotion to news, conversation and sharing. As Twitter increases in popularity and more business and consumers jump on the bandwagon, you may be asking yourself, “How can Twitter help my business?”
Simply stated, a tweetup is a gathering of Twitter users. Tweetups are often very informal meetings focused on a central topic of interest, such as social media or business networking, and usually include a good amount of social time. This is not always the case, however; some tweetups are strictly social events. It is suggested that you have a Twitter account so you can follow the interesting people that you meet, but an account is not required to attend. Are you trying to figure out what Twitter is, how it works, or how to register for an account? Great! A tweetup is an awesome place for you to start. You will have the opportunity to meet plenty of people from all walks of life that will be glad to answer questions and help you get started. It helps to bring a friend along to the first tweetup you go to if you are nervous or shy, but you will quickly find that the Twitter community is a very friendly and welcoming one.
Jack Welch, former Chairman and CEO of GE for 20 years, had an innovative management style during his tenure and remains an inspirational business figure today. His willingness to embrace change, hire the best people, give them room to operate, and provide them with what they need to be successful helped him take GE from a market value of $14 billion to more than $410 billion.
