WordPress 3.0 (among the other cool features) allows to display login page anywhere in the theme or even in the post itself (if you write a plugin of course), it’s actually done with just one line of code.

wp_login_form()

This code will “echo” the form (it’s a simple form without any styling applied to it so that’s a good thing). Like with everything in WordPress wp_login_form allows for easy customization by passing array of arguments to the function.

I usually don’t publish more then one post a week, but this is really important after almost 3 years ditio.net reached 100 posts mark. At the same time the blog is almost 3 years old (actually the domain will be 3 years old on June 6th).

Either way 3 years is about 1095 days, which means that i have pathetic post frequency of 0.1 post/day. Or rather it’s the blog posts frequency since in the past i hired people to write for me. I am even afraid to check how much of this posts were actually mine.

Ok, so i am awaiting congratulations now
