This is a special project, a bundle of plugins, that will allow you to give your users that homegrown feeling by removing WordPress branding including links to support & the codex, browse happy buttons and footer text... via plugins.

What this means is that you don't need to hack the core every time you upgrade your site and that rebranding your Wordress Multisite network has just become about 10 times easier!

There are six core plugins here, all of which you just have to drop into mu-plugins (one by one, not all at once) which allow you to:

- change the footer text in the admin area via Site Admin > Options
- change the 'help content' that slides down all AJAXy via Site Admin > Options
- change the 'login' image via Site Admin > Login Image
- remove the 'browse happy' sticker in the bottom right for IE users
- removes the wp dashboard widgets
- removes the 'permaliinks' configuration options (not strictly branding but annoying all the same

Once you’ve done that you need to manually edit the following image files (naturally we can’t make your logo for you):

wp-admin/images/logo.gif
wp-admin/images/logo-ghost.png
wp-admin/images/wordpress-logo.png
wp-admin/images/wp-logo.gif
wp-includes/images/wlw/wp-comments.png
wp-includes/images/wlw/wp-watermark.png
wp-includes/images/wlw/wp-icon.png
wp-includes/wordpress-admin-bar/themes/grey/images/background.png
wp-includes/wordpress-admin-bar/themes/grey/images/background-logo.png
wp-includes/wordpress-admin-bar/themes/grey/images/bullet_arrow_down.gif
and maybe wp-includes/wordpress-admin-bar/themes/grey/grey.css

Needless to say though you're a bit of a swine if you don't credit WP anywhere - so send 'em a link or several thousand in your public facing footers!

Have fun!
