I just would like to thanks Richard Hay for such a good post for my plugIn. I’ve lots of ideas to extend WordPress to use IE9 pinned site features, including administrative shortcuts mentioned by Navjot Singh.
By the way, would you please pin your site just after you logged in.. You will find ‘Write a post’, ‘Moderate comments’, ‘Upload new media’ entries then..
Please come and share your ideas with me, so that it will be better and better..
“So why not take advantage of a feature that combines new capabilities in IE9 and the Windows 7 Taskbar to ask visitors to place a permanent link to your site on their Windows 7 Taskbar?”
Because it’s annoying.
Thank you for the clear explanation, will download IE 9 right away so I can test these new features. By the way I don’t agree with the opinion of Jérémie.
I have served for 26 plus years in the Navy and am a Master Chief Petty Officer. My work background in the Navy is telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well in what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.
My first website - AnotherWin95.com - came online in 1996. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and have all the GeoCities “stuff” to show for it!
I have progressed from a single page, link-filled, static html page to using PHP, databases and coding to make my pages.
Seems this is not the first plugin for doing this. First plugin to come out with it was http://wordpress.org/extend/pl.....e-pinning/ but it is not good. And today a new plugin has been released here: http://wordpress.org/extend/pl.....e-pinning/ – This one’s much better coz it adds links to administration panel if you are logged into your blog.

Great content, gonna try the IE9 Pinned Site plugin out later, thanks
I used to use chrome for a while, but it just wasn’t as good as IE9. So I switched back. I’m going to have to see about installing that plugin now.
Thanks for this, I haven’t tried IE9 yet and didn’t know about the feature. I’m going to try out the plugin now.
