 * Is it possible to create a button where you can turn editing “off” or “on”. Sometimes,
   it gets annoying having different things highlight as I am scrolling down. I 
   plan to make a button where it won’t allow editing until you turn the plugin “
   on”.
 * I am going to try to add a js function in my theme to do this, but if this has
   been talked about before, would like to see the way ( I looked and couldn’t find
   anything)

 * When I mean “on” I don’t mean the backend, but somewhere in the page itself that
   needs to be edited.

 * The [Inline Editor](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/inline-editor) plugin
   modifies the standard Edit link to achieve this. Maybe you should look into that.
