Jeff's 2010 article, Twitter style Login box for Drupal, not clear/working

Issue Summary

Hi!

I'm trying AdaptiveTheme for the first time and really want to see this work as it looks like a great solution for future sites. I setup a test site, tzvetok dot com, threw in a dummy logo, and first thing I wanted to do was move the login to the leaderboard in a horizontal position.

Problem was I wasn't clear of which file to do some CSS crafting to manage the horizontal issue and float to the right. So I found Jeff's article, "Twitter style Login box for Drupal" and thought that would be a great solution. Problem was that it didn't work in that I don't believe the CSS was in the right css file OR the selector 'block-user-0' was still valid given the article was a couple years old.

I downloaded logintoboggin, positioned the user login block in the leaderboard, set it to collapsed and all worked, but the first snippet of Jeff's code with the 'z' attribute did not work. I tried this in global.styles.css and base.styles.css.

If I use the snippets of code in Jeff's article, are they still valid (noticed this was for D6) for D7 and 7.x-3.1, AND which css file should I use for overrides of this sort.

Bottom Line: best way to put the login/register in the leaderboard, horizontally and float right as Jeff's article described.

Best,

Carl
