A quick enhancement for Simple Draft List, which lets you list draft posts (or pages) on your WordPress blog.
When draft posts and/or pages are listed, and the viewer is an editor, then links will be added to be able to edit them – this link simply sends them to the post/page edit.
Full details and downloads are available on the dedicated plugin page.

I’m pleased to announce the launch of a new plugin for WordPress, Google Docs Viewer.
It provides 2 simple-to-use ways of adding documents (Word documents, Presentations, PDFs) to your posts or pages.
First up is a simple way to add a link to a document which, when clicked on, will show the document using Google Docs.
Secondly, is a way to embed a document directly into the post or page.
As an example, click here to view a PDF in Google Docs. Alternatively, read it below, where it has been embedded (it can take a few seconds to load).
As always, full details on the plugin and a download link are available on its dedicated page.

WordPress 3.1 has finally been released after much beta testing and is ready for download.
This release features a lightning fast redesigned linking workflow which makes it easy to link to your existing posts and pages, an admin bar so you’re never more than a click away from your most-used dashboard pages, a streamlined writing interface that hides many of the seldom-used panels by default to create a simpler and less intimidating writing experience for new bloggers (visit Screen Options in the top right to get old panels back), and a refreshed blue admin scheme available for selection under your personal options.
There’s a bucket of candy for developers as well, including our new Post Formats support which makes it easy for themes to create portable tumblelogs with different styling for different types of posts, new CMS capabilities like archive pages for custom content types, a new Network Admin, an overhaul of the import and export system, and the ability to perform advanced taxonomy and custom fields queries.
With the 3.1 release, WordPress is more of a CMS than ever before. The only limit to what you can build is your imagination.
