A few days back we have discussed about designing an easy admin area interface on your client websites. Today in this tutorial we are sharing some more good plugins that lets you simplify your admin area’s user interface. For example: Posts is a popular word in blogosphere but website owners who just migrated from old days 5 or 6 or whatever pages websites to WordPress and who don’t know the difference between posts and pages find it very confusing.
