User login, for example, is bad, IMHO. We could make it a "onmouseover

I've been messing around with Drupal locally here hoping it might be useful
to replace the website for a private school in my area... my intention for
the site is to have a clean "brochure-like" front page with just a few
links.

Main thing I wanted to do was get rid of the big ugly Username/Password box
on the front page.  I did this by using Drupal's built-in functionality by
basically hiding the login feature.  It's still accessible from "/user" if
someone isn't logged in, so i created a small link in corner of the page
titled "Login" that takes you there.

It's also good to note that any time a user attempts to access something in
Drupal which requires a login, it automatically takes them to the login page
- thus making it nearly useless to have the login block even show on the
front page in the first place.
