I'm a fan of WordPress. It produces clean extensible markup. It also has huge user base, and consequently a developer base also.
However, I've always found the admin rather ugly, and its navigation menu rather annoying, as I miss having the easy access to sub-pages via a drop down menu system. So after doing a little googling, I finally located two plugins which give me a look and feel that I've been craving. Tiger Style Administration by Steve Smith provided the slicker look, and Admin Drop Menus by Andy Staines provided the drop down menus
On first activation of both WordPress plugins, they don't appear compatible. After closer inspection, the solution to their happy co-existence lay in making modifications to the Tiger Style Administration CSS.
After activating the two plugins, and implimenting this modification, my client feedback was overwhelmingly positive, making WordPress far more intuitive to navigate.
I'll post the CSS solution soon.
