Old Tumblr Dashboard Extension

This extension is one I started to develop privately to make the Tumblr dashboard look the same as it used to before a big update which changed it significantly,
I thought many people might want to use it as they dislike the dashboard so thought I would publish it.
The only thing I couldn't fix is the drop down for blogs now.

========== Version 0.2 ============
• Main post container width adjusted so it's not overly wide as per the latest update made by staff

========== Version 0.3 ============
• Fix post type selection width which was broken with the last update
