   Hey all,
   I have a link in my footer called "Log In" currently linking to "/wp-admin/" and I would like this to direct to a lightbox popup where I can enter my username and password instead of the actual directory, "/wp-admin".

   I would imagine I would have to create a custom login page of some sort, but does anybody know of a plugin or easy method to make this work?

   Thanks!

   Actually, sorry - I meant thickbox, not lightbox
   http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/

   I guess I can just copy & paste the desired code from my "/wp-admin/" login page to the thickbox popup page.
