Wordpress have done a great job cleaning up their interface.
In particular I really like the top navigation bar. Which especially stands out on my 11 inch Macbook Air.
It does not take up any more space than it should and allows the user to very quickly navigate to their most important and frequent actions leading to far cleaner and efficient user experience.

Simplicity is growth
In my experience simplicity is seldom tempered from solitary, mercurial thoughts.
Simplicity and clarity comes through acknowledging and confronting all possibilities with vigour and discipline.
Aggressively filtering the wheat from the chaff until you have nothing but the fertile seed of the idea left in your hand.
Today I am striving for creative maturity.
A maturity gained not from epiphany-like ideas but rather a discipline and respect for the inevitable iteration required to hone anything of quality.

"all of those things are great, rational reasons to pursue what we pursued. But none of them matter if the product is harder to use, since most people simply won’t care enough or get enough benefit from long-term features if a shorter-term alternative is available"

Notes"You can learn more from failure than success. In failure you’re forced to find out what part did not work. But in success you can believe everything you did was great, when in fact some parts may not have worked at all. Failure forces you to face reality" -

Notes"My little brother almost bought an album from iTunes the other day because it was too much trouble to find a pirated version. Why on earth hasn’t the music industry shifted their marketing to how it is more convienent to buy authentic than the “we will sue you for every dime if you don’t”approach" -
