New login screen

We deployed a small update of BlogBuilder this morning. There is one BIG change you will notice, the new login screen.

We have a new single sign-on (SSO) system that we are starting to roll out across all of our services. Part of this is to switch all login screens from the current pop-ups and various other types to a single full screen login page.

You don't actually have to do anything differently or use a different login, it will all work as before with the exception being that you will be taken off to this full screen instead of the pop-up. As Warwick Blogs users will be the first to use this system, any feedback would be much appreciated.

Update: I should have mentioned that with this login screen, if you completely close your web browser, it will log you out. This is for security reasons so that someone else can not just come along and open up and browser and be logged in as you

Update 2: There is now a remember me checkbox that you can use to stay logged in between closes of the browser
