 The link for "POSTS" be changed to be a button that does something, rather
 than a link that takes you somewhere. See ticket #26504 for background.

 Relevant file/s
 /wp-admin/edit.php

 In the particular case of the "POSTS" link, the beautiful dashicon of the
 pin that precedes the link to POSTS "may" require additional handling for
 screen readers and voice recognition systems; it's in a division with a
 class of "wp-menu-image".  A second opinion would be appreciated on the
 dashicons and whether any special handling is needed as it applies to
 assistive technology.
