  If you have not yet seen this http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/wordpress-27-navigation-options-survey/ I suggest everyone take a look at it. There are changes coming up to the user interface here at wordpress.com and you have a chance to take a survey and let your voices be heard.

  My only suggestion: Look through it, take the survey and do it with an open mind and emotions in neutral.

  The survey is also linked from http://wordpress.org/development as it will be implemented for every WordPress user.

  So, what did everyone choose? I liked option C though with some modifications.

  Though, to be honest, what I’d really like is for nothing to change. Ever.

  I’d like:
  – categories and tags to the side of, rather than below, the edit window on the Post page.
  – my most frequently-accessed web admin pages to get their own links, above the regular dash links.
  Pretty much everything else is a long way behind. If I can quickly get to a Post page that doesn’t annoy me, I’m happy.

  @andrew

  From what I’ve read, we will be able to rearrange the edit post and pages elements so that if you want categories to the right of the text area you will be able to do that.

  After taking the survey I though of something that I’ve passed along to Matt via email that I think would be a good idea.

  At the top of the side menu would be a “My WordPress” entry. This would be user configurable so that you could put your most used admin items in there. As an example mine might contain:

  Write Post
  Manage Posts
  Comments
  Widgets
  Akismet Spam

  Those are the ones I use most often and it would be great to have my normal “haunts” all on one menu.
