WordPress Admin Menu on Right Plugin

Recently a reader suggested that the admin menu in WordPress would be much more useful on the right side of the screen. That sounded fairly simple, so I started playing with the CSS.

A few hours later I had the CSS to move the menu to the right and started trying to figure out how to turn it into a plug-in. Two weeks later (1/7), I have now uploaded it to the repository.

    Gwendolyn and Nakul,
    This is my first plug-in, but I am looking for other ideas for new plug-ins. Is there anything else you would like to see improved in WordPress 2.7?

    This is a very useful plugin. I have always wanted my admin menu on the right side. I have also talked to many other people who have preferred their admin menu on the right side but have not been able to figure out hope to move it in the CSS. Thanks for developing this plugin,it is great.

  11. This plugin is excellent! It makes thing so much more convenient now. It works perfectly well..Thanks so much!

  12. Yeah its true .When the admin menu is on right hand side its much easier to access it. Indeed your plug in is very Useful. I just installed your plug in . Works well. Thanks

  13. Well as long as your used to it I guess any position would be fine. But leaving it on the right would Be easy for most of the people. I’ll try this out and see. Thanks for the plugin Luke.

    OHH Every now and again I find a web site that is a real source of useful information and content. This is one of those. A rare beast indeed. Keep up the good work. Kind regards

    Yes its always helpful to have the admin menu on the right side of the plug in. I think its more easy to handle since most of the users are right handed IMO.

  17. Well im left handed still i find it very easy to access when the admin panel is on my righthand side. Thanks a lot for coming up with such a good idea

  18. Its a good idea, i respect your css skills! certainly good coding should enable anything to be stuck anywhere via the css settings, with good semantic markup and content separated from layout settings. Users always have different opinions so your idea will satisfy some.

  20. Howdy, i study your weblog occasionally and i own a similar one and i had been just wondering if you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you are able to advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any assistance is really much appreciated.

    Have you tried Akismet? It’s not perfect but it helps a lot.
