 * thank you everyone who helped me with my previous problem. now, i have a new 
   one. 🙁
 * i was wondering if this is even possible: can a login form be placed on the frontend
   of the blog making it so that a user doesn’t have to be taken to the backend,
   then clicking view site to get back to the front end? if it’s too complicated,
   i won’t worry about it but I was just wondering if something like this is even
   possible.
 * thanks!

 * You could try something like this in your sidebar:
 * `
    <li id="login"> <label for="s"><?php _e('Login:'); ?></label>
 * <ul>
    <li><?php wp_loginout(); ?></li> </ul>

 * Ive done nearly all of that on my own site, except for the adding to the front
   page part, which was by choice. MAYBE this weekend, ill plugin-ize it all — its
   a pretty tight setup that I have.

 * Try this one (my post [http://blog.fongstanley.com/2005/11/21/login-box-at-sidebar/](http://blog.fongstanley.com/2005/11/21/login-box-at-sidebar/))
   by ioerror on the sidebar, it’s the best I’ve seen so far.

 * Too bad the plugin does not work with sidebar widget.
