There are frequently moments when you feel the need for space. Editing or creating content in the WordPress dashboard can often present those moments for myself. Need some more space? No worries – there is a not-so-hidden function that give you just what you are looking for.
In the upper right hand side find the small «« directly under the dashboard link. Once clicked you’ve got nearly two more inches of screen space. This link eluded many people – for almost the whole existence of WordPress 2.7. So if you are one of those individuals- don’t sweat – you are not alone!
Notice the clickable button under the Dashboard link. That's the secret!
That’s the before. And now the after:
Once minimized - Enjoy the extra room now available!
Did this option escape you? How does it feel to have a bit more room?
