  "textContent": "Just read a great article at 40horse.com on creating a custom ExpressionEngine2 Login Screen so decided to have a quick update to my own login screen. It is slightly frivolous as only I will ever see it hopefully but every little bit helps.\n\nI edited the login.css found inside the main themes folder /default/css themes/\n\nChanged the main image:\n\nChanged the submit button colour:\n\nAnd added some shape to the form element.\n\nSimple, quick and easy way to add a bit of pizazz to a site. I have known about editing the login screen for a long time but was one of those things I had never tried so thanks to Josh Hopkins for the prompt!\n\nUpdate October 2025\nI did switch away from ExpressionEngine for this site – though io still use it for others and highly recommend it. I have a tendency to try out different systems on my own site and have used four different ones to date since ExpressionEngine.",
