Adding post to the menu would be very easy. The question is … why?
If you added post, wouldn’t it just be like a regular WordPress admin panel?
I might add that feature as an option in the future if others request it. I’m not sure when (if?) that will be though. If anyone desperately needs this feature, flick me a message via my Contact Form for pricing to have it done immediately.
I haven’t checked, but I suspect if you turn off commenting in your settings panel (blog wide) that the commenting features within the other areas of the panel will disappear (I could be wrong though).
I’ll consider that as an option in a future release though. A simplified news button instead of a blog post button would make some sense. That would definitely be an option though, not available by default.
I second Ryan Oz’s request to have post as an option!
A lot of people want to blog, but get confused with all those options in the typical wordpress menu. And they’re not interested in writing pages, just posts.
Great plugin overall – just needs that post option to be truly useful for me personally.
Unfortunately I’m very busy with another project at the moment. I’ll try to get on to this at a later date, but at the moment the development of this plugin is a little stagnant (apart from bug fixes).
Thanks for letting me know though. The more people who register an interest in this functionality, the more likely I am to add this as an option.
