In a few minutes, you might experience slowdown with this blog site OR might be totally unable to access it. I will be doing some upgrades at the backend. Sorry for the inconvenience.

While I was enjoying my Asus Eee PC, I also start to find out that writing an entry to my blogs was a little inconvenient. The Write Post page on the Admin panel does not render very well with the theme I use. The menu were on the left sidebar and another set of menus on the right sidebar, giving me less than 1/3 of my screen width. Being said, scrolling the text area up and down is a little annoying. And most of the times, it’s also hard to navigate the editor buttons.

So what’s best solution to it? I installed ScribeFire extension. And writing posts on my blog gets even better. Another clever idea, eh? Sweet!

UPDATE: Actual file attached. After downloading, extract the file and override the existing better-comments-manager.php file in your plugin folder. Enjoy

I use Better Comments Manager to easily manage comments from users on my blogs. But I found it quite inconvenient because I always have to go to “Comments” menu and then do another click to access the function so I modified the plugin to make the function accessible from the Dashboard page.

I planned to post the plugin but weeks ago, Jaypee announced the latest version of the plugin which enables the user to access the function straight from the Admin Panel. I thought my plan to blog about it was totally ruined but I noticed that there’s something more I can add to make the plugin better.

Currently, the plugin adds a menu to access the function and the menu lies inline with other top level menus. IMO, the menu is placed not perfectly well so I make it a submenu on the Dashboard page. Here’s how it looks now. For me, this is much a better look. I can’t attach the file yet but if you want, I can send it to you.
