Un-gay your Wordpress Blog’s dashboard

If you’re anything like me, you spend a lot of time on Wordpress’ Admin pages. Again, if you’re anything like me, you’ve always thought of Wordpress’ dashboard as a User Interface/Information Architecture disaster.

(Also, if you’re anything like me, you have a penis the size of a wine cork and you cry about it at night. Let’s not go there. Thanks.)

Well, Clear Skys came up with a wonderful plug-in for Wordpress that helps make the dashboard a little more bearable and actually useful at the same time.

The myDashboard plug-in takes the “Start Page” look from services Netvibes, Page Flakes and iGoogle and takes it to your Wordpress Dashboard.

It organizes information displayed on your dashboard into Widgets (which they call “Gadgets”). These gadgets can display the usual stuff on your Dashboard like latest comments, latest posts, statistics and Technorati incoming links.

The neat thing about myDashboard is that it’s open source to some extent and developers can create their own Gadgets to be used with the plugin. Check out this Subscriber widget for myDashboard which displays the numbers of subscribers you have on your posts.

And because myDashboard is filled with sweet AJAX goodness, you can easily rearrange gadgets by dragging and dropping them like you would on your favorite start page-type service.

You can download myDashboard from Wordpress Extend and Google Code.

I wouldn’t call it a dent, more like a disdain shift in the straight dance, apropos 4 inches hunger, that occurs from hitting a metal pole edgewise, so that the staff forces the bumper inwards slightly?
