But where’s my BLOG??
In working with new WordPress users, I’ve often observed that the difference between the Posts and Pages menus is confusing for people at first. For that matter, I sometimes find myself looking for a menu called “Blog” myself.
This plugin is designed to do one very simple thing: rename the “Posts” item in the admin menu to the more self-explanatory “Blog”. No configuration, no options, just activate and enjoy.

Blogify Posts Menu

A very simple plugin to rename the "Posts" menu in the admin to "Blog".

The admin bar replicated functionality that the admin menu accomplishes, why have two menus? Now you can have one menu bar that does pretty much everything you could ever need. This plugin adds the admin menu (the menu on the left side of the screen) to the admin bar. The admin menu is ‘fixed’, like the admin bar so that it will appear no matter how far you have scrolled down, keeping it easily accessible and consistently in the same spot. The screen options and help menus however do not, so keep that in mind.

Ultimate Admin Bar

Move the admin menu from the left of the screen to be incorporated with the admin bar. Significantly reduces the admin menu screen real estate.
