I found a nice little wordpress administration plugin called WP Tiger Administration that give the wordpress administration area a very clean and easy to use look. I love the fact that it looks very Mac-like. Apple has always had the best looking UI (at least IMHO) and this plugin brings the look to wordpress.

I’ve decided to give FeedBurner a try. We’ll see how that goes.

K2 Styles, again
