WordPress’s plugin API lets you make huge changes and add gobs of functionality if you want to. Fortunately, it’s easy enough to use that fixing small annoyances is trivial.
Scott Berkun recently reviewed WordPress 2.7 and his review was positive in almost every aspect. However, he did point out a few minor things that weren’t great about the release. One of the few items was the fact that “Spam” on the dashboard is a red color. He suggested changing it to yellow or plain text.
In about 5 minutes I whipped up a one line plugin that does just that. I’m making it available to anyone who wants it. Download theAkismet Spam Text Color Changer Plugin now!
