Minor change to login process

I have updated the login process.  The login form now is displayed in the site’s theme (instead of a “wordpress” theme.)  I have added text to the login reminding members that if they have forgotten their account username, they can email me and ask that I send it to them.  Remember, in order to see all of the site content you must log in. Click the read more link for more information on changes to the login process and how to make it easier.

Once you log in, you will be sent to the home page of the site, instead of your ‘dashboard”.  If you want to go to your “dashboard”, for example to update your profile, or change your password, you can get there by going to the home page of the site and click the “dashboard” link that is after your account name.

Some members have commented that it is too difficult to remember how to log in.  Most internet browsers have a feature called “auto complete” that will remember the username and password on the login form.  By enabling this feature, once  you have logged in, the browser will automatically fill in the username and password on the form so you will not have to remember it.  Below are some links that explain how to turn on this feature.
