Today’s plugin is called Login Logo, and is an elegant way to implement some simple WordPress customization. It does one thing and does it very simply and very well, which is exactly the kind of plugin I like.
The video is embedded at the top of this post’s page, with more about the plugin below.
Login Logo
Login Logo allows you to customize the WordPress login screen without needing to fuss around with any settings or options screens. Just activate the plugin, drop a logo file into your /wp-content folder, and you’re good to go. Who doesn’t love that?

Features like this should be implemented by the theme designer.
I absolutely love this plugin; it’s more than simple to use!
Is there a reason you should use this plugin vs. just simply replacing the WP login image with your own custom image?
No everybody is smart enough to do that, hence the plug-in.
Using plugins is always preferable to modifying core files. If you modify core your changes could be lost the next time you update WordPress core, for instance.
I use this on just about every client site I do. Great plugin.
