 When on the Admin pages of WordPress, admin_header.php puts the blog's
 name on the screen in big type at the top, by calling
 get_option('blogname'). This is a problem because it is not really
 possible to filter this text, to make it look reasonable, and some plugins
 might want/need to (e.g. Polyglot).

 The reason you cannot filter get_option('blogname') is because the options
 put into the option-setting form from options_general.php (i.e. the
 General tab of the Options section of the Admin screens) are also derived
 from get_option. So if you define a filter for get_option_blogname, then
 that filter will also be used to filter what goes into the option-setting
 form. But the form needs to display unfiltered actual input so the user
 can see what is actually in the database.

 The solution is to use bloginfo('name') in the admin header in place of
 get_option('blogname'), because bloginfo can definitely be filtered. Also
 the blog title displayed on the admin form is then more consistent with
 the standard used to display the blog's name in the default theme (and
 many other themes) in the blog header.
