Today, Matthew at somefoolwitha.com released a little WordPress hack that creates a nice little floating admin bar at the bottom of your pages (assuming your a logged in admin of course).
So I’ve been playing around with it a little to get my own version going, I stripped out the posts, comments and category counts he had and added in an akismet spam counter and link to support forums for example. Now all that’s needed is someone with the know how to turn this into a plugin… Something, alas, I don’t have.

Looks very nice, I’m using it on my site as well. What is the code to display the spam comment awaiting moderation?
Thanks
I haven’t taken a look at this hack yet, but creating plugins for WordPress isn’t all that difficult… Hell, if I could do it, then anyone with any level of programming knowledge can. Just check out the codex
Tony: My hacked up version can be found here. You don’t need to have akismet installed, but it helps…
Dave: I find the codex to be completely unintuitive to navigate and since the wordpress.org redesign, near impossible to read… Besides, I’m not a programmer (as such)
Greg, just go to http://codex.wordpress.org/Special:Preferences, log in and change your skin to Monobook; sorted :)
