Those of you who use Wordpress 1.5 (I haven’t upgraded - yet) know that the admin dashboard that you see when you log in sucks. I use WP 1.5 on several other blogs, including WealthyBlogger and I always cringe when I see it.
Angsuman Chakraborty has created a great little hack, which fixes the admin interface and gives useful information. Imagine!
Thanks Angsuman!

=8) and I thought I was the only one getting really annoyed. I hacked together a change on mine as well.
For what it’s worth here is a link to the changes I made too:

I think the stupidest part about 1.5 is the nofollow rel attribute value it adds. I think that that promotes lack of comments.
Nice screenshot, though.

Maybe it’s just me, but I like the original dashboard… or at least the idea of it. I like knowing what the latest WP related news is.
Nathan: There’s a plugin to remove the rel nofollow attribute if you really don’t like it there. I highly doubt it promotes a lack of comments. The average user doesn’t even know what the rel nofollow attribute is, much less makes an ethical decision to comment or not on a website based on whether rel nofollow is activated or not.
