[wp-design] Login Version 18

[Joen Asmussen]

I just want to say two things. I'm thrilled I'm not the only one 
bitching here, seriously, I began to feel alone :)

Second, unfortunately i have come down with a pretty nasty case of the 
influenza virus. So for the next few days (if all goes wrong), I'll be 
busy fighting off real life virii.

Sorry.
