It looks like I may carve out a niche for cranky Word\u00adPress plu\u00adg\u00adins. This could either be seen as a per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty flaw or as a per\u00adfect fit with\u00adin open-source cul\u00adture. In either case, Word\u00adPress makes it easy for irri\u00adta\u00adble peo\u00adple to release plu\u00adg\u00adins to change what they don\u2019t like about it. I\u2019ve done so twice recently.<\/p>\n
WP<\/span> 3.1 intro\u00adduced the admin bar, which is gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly quite use\u00adful. How\u00adev\u00ader, because Word\u00adPress\u2019s search is gen\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly not <\/em>use\u00adful, hav\u00ading the search field take up so much real estate is some\u00adwhat frus\u00adtrat\u00ading. So, I made a plu\u00adg\u00adin to remove it. You can down\u00adload Kill Admin\u00adbar Search<\/a> from the plu\u00adg\u00adins repo.<\/p>\n WP<\/span> 3.2 (cur\u00adrent\u00adly in beta 2<\/a>) has revamped the admin styles. It looks good, but we\u2019ve made the griev\u00adous error of plac\u00ading Ari\u00adal before Hel\u00adveti\u00adca in the font stack, which I protest\u00aded<\/a>.
