Simple Front End Edit Buttons
Download the plugin from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-front-end-edit-buttons/
This plugin for WordPress adds functions for adding edit buttons on the front end of your website.
By using the icons you can change the order of a post without the need to change the menu_order yourself within WordPress. It’s much easier and faster than having to go to the area.
The edit icons are added automatically to standard pages widget – but only when sorting by page order – and you can manually add the edit icons to any list of pages that you create yourself in your template.
Template Usage
To enable/show the icons use the following code:
<php
// This is how you add the icons manually
// The functions below can be added both at a regular page
// but also in for example a list that you create using a custom loop or similar
// Add icon for editing the post/page
if (function_exists("sfeeb_edit")) { echo sfeeb_edit(); }
// Add buttons for changing the page order
if (function_exists("sfeeb_edit_prio")) { echo sfeeb_edit_prio(); }
?>
Features
- Add icon for changing the menu order/prio of an page, so you don’t have to enter the admin area an change the menu order manually.
- Also, you will see the changes take effect immediately. It’s a time saver!
- Add icon for editing article (uses less space than the usual edit-text)
- Automatically adds icons for moving page up or down in the standard pages widget
- Easy add new pages. Click the plus-sign when your’re at a page and then this plugin makes sure that the new page gets a correct menu_order and places the new page after the previous page.
Screenshots
It will look something like this:

And like this if you add the funky edit icons yourself:
Very fancy indeed.

Front end is the future. I still wait for someone to code a great TinyMCE front end editor.
Ha det gott!

Why wait for a TinyMCE front end editor and not starting with ALOHA?
I think this is even cooler:

Aloha was very cool to look at. Hopefully it works good too.
TinyMCE has a long history and had the time to remove many bugs.
