In the upcoming version 3.1 of WordPress you will notice the BuddyPress style admin bar that appears when you’re logged in. Personally I kind of like it but there may be some folks out there who don’t care for it so much. So I’ll show you how to remove it with a simple line of code in your theme’s functions.php file. You ready to see how easy it is?

remove_action( 'init', 'wp_admin_bar_init' );

Yup, that’s it! Want to only show it on the front end?

if( is_admin() ){ remove_action( 'init', 'wp_admin_bar_init' ); }

Maybe it’ll come in handy, who knows.

I have had a few people contact me and say that they have not been able to locate the button in the editor. It should be visible in the first row of the Visual Editor so even if you are not showing the Kitchen Sink you should still be able to use it. Earlier, my sister had an issue with her computer. Her daughter moved her Windows task bar to the side of the screen and she needed help moving it back. I decided to do a screen-cast to show her how to get it back where it belongs and in the process, helped persuade me to make this to hopefully show people how to add a testimonial to their WordPress post using the TBTestimonials plugin

Testimonial Management done right with Custom Post Types. Supports a testimonial.php template file for single testimonial pages. Testimonial Shortcode to insert testimonials in any post or page. Animated Sidebar Widget, Built in documentation and code examples. Customize output and tons of other options!

That description isn't too helpful for the non-WordPress geek, so let me translate. This plugin lets you manage testimonials as a separate type of information in your WordPress blog, which makes it easier to include them in other blog posts and pages.
