Bookmarklet to Quickly Access WordPress Admin Menu
There are times when I have wanted to install a plugin on my blog. The usual process included loading the admin dashboard and going to the install plugin page, or bookmarking the install plugin page and then navigating to it using that.
Now I also want to access another feature in the admin dashboard, so I go ahead and bookmark it. Bookmarking pages is definitely a good way to quickly jump to certain pages, however, it is not exactly productive.
That was until I came across an excellent bookmarklet, which will allow users to quickly access the the WordPress sidebar menu items with a single click. Once you drag and drop the bookmarklet to your browser bookmark bar, you can click on it to access the admin menu for a particular site. Take a look at the screenshot below to see it in action.
Once you click on the bookmarklet, a WordPress like menu will be displayed to you, you can hover over the menu to see the sub-menus and options available under the menu. Clicking on the link will take you directly to the admin page of the current site you are browsing.
I emphasized on the text above, as this is the only flaw I saw with the bookmarklet. It will only work for the site you are currently browsing and not a site you can choose it to work for. So technically you will have to browse to your own site before you can get this to work properly for you.
That aside, this is a really useful bookmarklet and will definitely come in pretty handy. Visit the link below to add the bookmarklet to your browser’s bookmark bar.

This is great for Windows users but there seems to be a problem for Linux users as there’s no download for available for Linux and little instruction for Linux on the site (although your supposed to be able to download using SVN ). And once you do there’s no “makefile” in the source code so you can’t build it.
A comment about this has already been left on the site. Just thought that Linux users would want to know (like me).

Great stuff. I like to email first time commenters too when I get a chance. You can build a good email list that way to keep people updated on what you’re doing. This also ties in nicely with the vacation tip, you can just send out a blanket email in addition to updating on your blog.
I love the Turquoise Theme.
I like the fact it shows the full text of the comment (unlike the AIR moderator). If if could show comments for multiple WP blogs, that would be great.
Having a comment notifier in the tray is great!
I’ll give it a try
Cool, thank you for this news, I was searching something similar the past week and this program works perfectly for manage wp_comments from desktop!
Wow thanks for letting me know about this handy tool! I’ve already installed and loving it
Now only if there was an OS-X version…
This is really good! I will definitely try this. Thanks a lot for sharing.
First time I’ve seen a design like Greener Side. Really cool!
Greener Side is one of the nicest themes I’ve seen in a while. My father is an avid golfer and loves to write about various courses, so I’ll be suggesting this theme to him.
CleanTech is a great theme, not just because of the way it looks. It’s simple yet nice looking, and has just the basics like logo changing. It’s not cluttered up with required plugins or complicated magazine style options. More like this one would be fantastic.
I agree with Andrew (the first one), leaving a comment with the review would be mucho more helpful.
“The only addition I’d like to see is the ability to place javascript code (or any code really) instead of the normal img url so that things like 125×125 adsense code can be used as well.”
ME2!!!
