[wp-hackers] Removing wp_admin_css from login only

[Lynne Pope]

I didn't try any custom login plugins prior to this. I did go to each of the
plugin author's sites and looked at their blog posts, but didn't see any
evidence that the plugins were removing the admin css.

I've been including a user-functions.php file in my theme functions.php for
some time - ever since I realised I was reusing the same code over and over,
with different sites, different themes and different versions of WordPress.
Basically, I just have to copy this file, add the include in functions.php
and simply check that my custom code works as expected.

Originally, it had little more than filters for wpautop and wptexturize,
removal of the_generator, and the rsd_link. It's grown quite a bit since
then as everytime I find I am reusing functions I add them to the file.
Where I found I was reusing the same plugins and those plugins were just a
few lines of code, these got added too.

You can call the user-functions.php file anything you like. I keep that name
because its easy for everyone to identify.
I'm really happy I went in this direction because its made developing and
upgrading sites a lot faster.
