OK. Ever get sick of clicking, and clicking, and clicking to get somewhere in the administration area of BlogsOnUs. OK. It’s not our fault. Heck, we use WordPress, but we do the same things you do. Click, and click and click.
Well, we have added a really cool plugin, OZH Admin Menu Drop Down Plugin. This will make life sooooo much easier on you. That is if you actually write posts and move around in the backend of your blog. But wait, I know you all do.
By default, this plugin is not activated. You will need to activate it on your own. Just go to your Dashboard > Manage > Plugins > and activate the OZH Admin Menu Drop Down plugin. Thats it. Once activated, it will only take one click to get around and do anything your heart desires.
OK, for you WordPress experts, yes, there has been a few plugins that do about the same thing. So why did BlogsOnUs choose this one in particular. Because it works. Not only in WordPress 2.6, but it is also working in the newer version 2.7 (2.7 is not yet available in WordPressMU which is what BlogsOnUs is running on). We didn’t want to pick a menu plugin that wasn’t growing with the changes. This is important.
Why didn’t we just activate this by default? Well, we feel that many people like to find their way around the admin area, and it is sometimes easier to see the additional sub-menus in a row then it is in a drop down menu. Many times options in a drop down menu are ignored. This way, as they become familiar with the interface, they each person can choose whether or not they want to see drop down menus.
Me personally, I don’t really like the new structure of 2.7’s navigation, but, it is the future of WordPress. As we move to that version, I just wanted to make sure that users would have an option of using the new features, while still seeing their basic interface, thus, I decided to introduce this plugin now.
If you find you would rather use the older menu’s, feel free to deactivate the OZH menu. It’s really just there for me, but I think you will like it.
