One handy plugin we use is the Editorial Calendar to keep track of when posts are scheduled.

When you install this plugin it puts a link in the left hand column, but as it’s so useful it would be handy to have even quicker access to it.

To make it more accessible we can add a link to the WordPress Toolbar.

All you need to do is go to Appearance -> Editor and select functions.php
Then add this code:

// add a link to the WP Toolbar
function custom_toolbar_link($wp_admin_bar) {
 $args = array(
 'id' => 'calendar',
 'title' => 'Calendar', 
 'href' => '/wp-admin/edit.php?page=cal'
 );
 $wp_admin_bar->add_node($args);
}
add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'custom_toolbar_link', 100);

The same code can be added to add any other links you desire to the toolbar.  The number at the end controls the order.
