New description:

 ==== What problem does this address?

 New users might not understand what the buttons mean on the status bar
 because they are unclear. The buttons should be labelled properly to make
 them easier to understand.

 ==== What is your proposed solution?

 [[Image(ticket:55795:169851851-647601cc-56b3-43a5-bbff-ae100ac042d4.png)]]

 * Next to the Dashboard icon, the menu should be removed and it should
 just say Dashboard
 * The website name should be moved in front of the dashboard icon not
 behind it
 * To keep consistency, the word "Comments" should be placed behind the
 picture of a speech bubble instead of just the number. This will also make
 it clearer to the user that clicking will take the user to the Comments
 section.
