@Mike – as far as I know, there is no WordPress bookmarklet hack. If I find a workaround, I’ll let you know.

@Darren – I use a laptop with a small screen, so I don’t see the left alignment of the admin, although I keep hearing people mention it and it does seem really weird that they would do that. Someone actually developed a plugin that centers the admin, but of course I can’t find it now.

WordPress does have a lot to be proud of. They’re fabulous!

Does the left-aligned/fixed width nature of the admin panel strike anyone else as a strange choice?

You can still find out what the Page or Category ID is by mousing over the title and looking at the link in the bottom of your browser to find the number…

I tripped over this too. In Safari by default, the status bar isn’t displayed, thus you can’t preview the ID number. For themes like Mimbo, determining ID numbers is crucial.

All in all, though, the Happy Cog & Wordpress folks have a lot of be proud of, esp with so many cooks in the kitchen.

So is there some kind of bookmarklet hack available? That’s really crippling.

Even though I don’t like the new 2.5 (I actually hate the new wp-admin) I have to admit that the new Wordpress website looks much better.

I’ve upgraded to 2.5 last week without having any problems.
