Ever since I started working with WordPress™, I have always disliked the sidebar admin panel on the dashboard. For some reason, I have a mental block with finding things there..it just seems to take me forever and time is money.  Now maybe it’s just my brain not functioning right, you never know. Or at least, that’s what I’ve been told.  But never mind that, I just ignore the comments.

The Best Admin Panel Plug-in Ever for WordPress!

However, last year I went on a quest to find something that would make things easier for me. I tried a few things, but they didn’t seem to be any better.  But, I finally stumbled across the Ozh’ Admin Drop Down Menu plug-in.  I don’t know how I missed it. I can’t tell you how much I love this plug-in.  Now with every installation of WordPress™  the very first plug-in I install is this one. Talk about making my life easier!   Simply put, it puts all the WordPress™ admin links in a nice neat horizontal row at the type which I find easier to user.

But it does so much more than that. It gives me so much more real estate on the main page. Moving the admin bar from the side to the top makes so much sense to me.  There are some cool customizations that use can use also.

One of my favorite features is the actual drop down menu.  I don’t have to click on Pages and then click on Add new or Edit.  I can just click on whatever I need in the drop down and easy find what I need.
