Wider posting box - Let your admin area breathe!

If you’re anything like me (and I know I am) then you love BIG monitors. My main computer is a 24″ iMac (primal grunting here). I just think that I’m a lot more productive on a big monitor. And there is scientific evidence to prove my point. But I digress…

If you have a big monitor like me, then you may have been a little frustrated when WordPress 2.5 came out and one of the new “features” was an admin working area limited to 980px. Especially when posting big, ProPhoto-sized pictures, more width can be really nice.

I already posted about increasing the write-post box’s height, but today I tried out a cool plugin that removes the max-width setting on your admin area.

You can download it here. I like it! What do you think?

    @Renee: I’m not sure what you mean. Did you upoad the plugin using FTP into your wp-content/plugins folder? Were you able to activate it from your plugins tab in your WP admin area?
