Hello, this is my 3rd assignement on 2nd week (we begin on week 0):

frontpage: http://tresxnou.cat/beta/2010curswp/
login page: http://tresxnou.cat/beta/2010curswp/wp-login.php

At the end I could create the child theme under the ePhoto Elegantthemes, I have writed a post in my blog about it. The blog is in catalan but if someone is interested could try to translate with google:
http://www.tresxnou.cat/bloc/2011/02/11/crear-child-theme-elegantthemes/

About the homework for this week I created a plugin that handles the login page and page management styles. I think I could do the same in the child theme with the functions.php and a the css files.

For the frontpage widget I created an ad hoc form, and I put its html code into a textwidget.

Have a nice week!

I kept it simple and just made a child theme and edited the functions.php file. Added a customlogin.css file just like the codex documentation says to do, and then used the login_form hook to insert the checkboxes using add_action().

My assignment for this week is at http://week2.herbnerder.com

I took another route with the login and built it directly into the header of the blog (top right). The login page (/wp-admin/) is styled as well but with a rather buggy plug-in. I'm going to come back to that and just insert a custom stylesheet.

I added a widget with a simple form for the poll, but I'm not sure what to do with the results yet so I just have it redirecting to a google search for whatever was selected in the poll.

And, the admin theme is well on it's way, but it still needs quite a bit of tweaking as there are a ton of styles to override or rebuild. And, the CSS for the site in general needs a lot of work, yet. I just wanted to complete the actual tasks for the week before getting into that.

Here is mine:

1) custom admin login
http://farajoomla.com/p2pu/wordpress/wp-login.php

I didn't install any plugin for this one. I edited the function.php then created a new folder and a new css file with some new images. It was fun.

2) the widget/plugin
http://farajoomla.com/p2pu/wordpress/blog/
Thanks to Nuno. This one is inspired by Nuno's walkthrough article. li class="'.$val.'" was a great job, with this, I was able to style different li classes with different icons. This was fun too.

3) custom admin panel
I didn't really have time to work on a new css or theme for this one, so I took the easiest way and I installed Fluency Admin plug-in :(
