## Description

By default, when a visitor accesses your site, the admin bar is not shown. This 
makes sense for a blog, where you’re the only one that has an account.

However, if you’re running a site where most visitors need to be logged in before
doing anything useful, you probably want to make it as easy as possible for them
to log in or register.

This is what this plugin is for: it shows the login form right there in the admin
bar, so that users don’t need to load another page just to enter their username 
and password.
