Can someone please tell me where to change the text for the Register link. I would rather it say "signup" or "Get Started" or something. I have spent a long time looking for a place to change this, but im stumped.

Any help is appreciated

You can do this by modifying the resource file for the User control. 

This is how it is accomplished:

Goto the menu:  Admin->Languages.

Open:  Local Resources->Admin->Skins->User.ascx. 

It will ask you to "You are about to create a custom localized file for this portal. Are you sure you want to overload default localized file?"  Click yes. 

Modify the Resource Name: Register.Text to any thing you want. 

And Whala!!! You have change Register to anything you would like!

That's a cool permanent approach -
You can also change it in the skin features so that any skin can have it's own login.

something like this in the portalskin.ascx file you've create could be -

<dnn:LOGIN runat="server" id="dnnLOGIN" Text="Come right in!" LogoffText="See you later!" />

And if you wanted to go to the extra length - you could add a class to it as well.

I think Phebous has a good idea for portals that will not be changed - like corporates or those who just have one portal.

Cool ways to approach the same thing and thanks for posting this Phebous!

Nina,

You can also modify the global resource (under the host menu), which would be for all portals.   You can also modify the portal resource (under the admin menu), which would be only from the single portal.  If you also look into the {portal root}\App_GlobalResources, you will find all the overrides for the portal.  For example, in my portal I have GlobalResources.Portal-0.resx, GlobalResources.Portal-1.resx and GlobalResources.resx.  The first two is for the specific portal and the last one is the global resource.   Although I haven't dug into code, but it is my belief that this is how it works.  How else would you support multiple languages in the same instance?

Modifying localization is definitely preferable - if you do this in admin it will not be overwritten on updates.
