4 features I like about Wordpress 2.7 Dashboard homepage

The image above has all 4 features that I love about Wordpress 2.7 dashboard homepage, highlighted respectively. Fortunately all of these are present side by site. Lets talk about there functionality:

Show on screen:

This nice little enhancement in Wordpress 2.7 is what I dreamed for months(if not years ). Finally I have control over my page modules, most of which I don’t need most of the times. So, its easy for me to remove unwanted modules just by un-checking the respective box. I feel happy for more room to work. Even I don’t like extra panels in Adobe Photoshop when I am working there.

Drop down menu:

Using earlier Wordpress versions, It was really annoying for me to post a Page by clicking New in top menu & in the next page(which was in fact new Post page), I had to click Page in order to get there. This drop down menu cures that headache and now I have one click access to the most accessed tasks in Wordpress.

At a glance:

Being a UI enthusiast I love better presentation for even minor things. Same is the case with this enhanced blog stats widget. There are significant UI improvements in this particular Wordpress version but this stats widget really amazed me.

QuickPress

: It was first sight love for me, though I came to know later that it was orginally a wordpress plugin now plugged right in Dashboard homepage. The only thing I hate about Wordpress editor is to wait for Post editor page to to load(even if WYSIWYG turned off) and with QuickPress I can make quick post without waiting that long.
