For those who are not completely happy with the usability or the look and feel of the back office in their blog, there are a few plugins around, compatible with or made for WordPress 2.0, that rework or enhance the admin area. I’ll name : Paged Comment Editing By default, “Manage Comments” only list the 20 last comments. What if you were on offline holidays for a month and have a blog that receives quite a few feedback ? This plugin allows browsing of older comments with paging through them. Cat 2 Tag If you create a lot of categories, this plugin makes selection easier when writing a post : a handy “tag cloud” avoids cumbersome scrolling through a long category list.

WordPress and Performancing Extension for Firefox: A Dummies version of implementing the extension for WordPress. As a musing, a few years ago, “Dummies Version” would/could have offended some people, but the “…” for Dummies series of books have become so common that any tutorial labeled as “for dummies” is meant to be viewed as written simply, succintly with the most novice user in mind.
