The only time I actually use the header is to click on the VISIT SITE link.

Exactly my thoughts, Jeff. Don't you think that turning the whole title into a link would make more sense than the small Visit Site button next to it?

Also, what are the reasons why you don't use the favorite actions dropdown menu? I personally think that its too far to the right and my mouse doesn't live there very often, so it is easier to click on the New Post button in the main menu.
