I did that to give the page a nice vertical rhythm, "activities" lines 
up with register/login. I played around with some other options, but I 
thought that looked the best. I'll try a few different iterations, and 
maybe send you a screenshot. Please feel free to do the same.

*just noticed a layout problem with the registration page. Yikes.

Good point, I'll change that.

Another good point. Thanks for the feedback Eben!
