Looks pretty good.

I just gave it a little test and it seems to work well, you sign in and end up in admin then click back out to the frontend which i found weird.

with studiopress the homepage is run by widget fields so can't edit some types of widgets from there as you have to navigate to the actually page first.

the edit button seems to "run away" from you which is annoying

at this stage i give it a 3.5/5

tested in IE9 and firefox

been working on it today so i'm now dropping my score to 2.5/5

its frustrating on IE9 having to chase the edit button but most of the fields can be edited, works easier on firefox/chrom/safari but some of the widget fields can't be edited !!!!

I had to uninstall IE10 as it screwed to many things up fro me.

i'm going to go look for another one.

Tried one before, thought it might be easier for end user. But really they're just a pain in the arse.
