Lately, I’ve been on a usability kick- and looking at better ways to interface with programs we work with everyday.

WordPress has a really great interface- except, that the left sidebar with all it’s drop downs for the different options- seems to have a mind of it’s own- when something is dialed down, you don’t know where to click.

Enter- Ozh- and his plugin for moving the menus to the top- saving space, and making things appear in the same place every time!

When WordPress 2.7 and its new and optimized user interface came, I thought there was still room for improvements: a horizontal menu gave the admin area more of a “desktop application” feel, and I think it’s superior to a vertical menu. So I updated the WordPress Admin Drop Down Menu.

You can download older versions and the current version on his site- but, I always prefer to get it from the Codex:
