WordPress Post Made Easy

I finally got around to do this hack. In order for me to post a new entry, I have to login, go to “Site Admin” panel and then click on “Write” to post. I have hacked the site to have a “Post New” link under “Meta” when I am logged in.

1. Open and edit “/wp-includes/template-functions-general.php”
2. On line 50, I added

1 2	.     $link = $before . 'a href="' . get_settings('siteurl') . '/wp-admin/post.php">' . __('Post New') . '' . $after;

NOTE: Don’t forget to add the < sign before "a href". I had to take it out becuase WordPress thinks that line of code is an active http link. Also, the dot on the first line should not be omitted.

Now I can post new entries with just one click.
