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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Good plug in and a handy addition to the ease of use factor – been able to move it easily is a real bonus.

    [...] I went ahead and released the right side admin menu as a separate plugin for now and will release all my tweaks when I figure out the options [...]
