Admin Expert Mode v1.8

I’d like to announce the official release of the updated Admin Expert Mode plugin (v1.8) for WordPress.

Allow users with access to the administration section to hide inline documentation and help text, which generally target beginning users.

Recommended update! Highlights: changed activation notice to recognize if user previously enabled expert mode; verified compatibility through WP 3.3; enqueue CSS; and more.

For more details, instructions, screenshots, and the download link, visit the plugin’s official homepage at :
coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/admin-expert-mode/.

Comments welcome on this post for this version of the plugin. Comments will be closed once this release has been superseded by another.
