Pfu, also ich glaube, das war das letzte Mal, dass ich beim L**** ein Videospiel gekauft habe.

After having read about the alternative admin interface Tiger by Steven Smith on orderedlist.com I now dared the step and installed it Steven Smith has created a really nice admin interface which is very easy to use and also simply looks great Very simplistic, no images... simply great If you have a WordPress weblog I'd recommend that you at least give it a try. It's quite easy to install. Actually it's like a plugin: Extract the zip, put the wp-admin-tiger folder into the plugins folder and activate it in the plugins-page of the admin panel. Voilß .

A few weeks after that I learned about Rojo.com and liked the screenshots in the tour but never had to the time or the motivation to try it out.
