How to Arrange the WordPress Dashboard
The default WordPress dashboard includes content widgets such as "Quick Press," "WordPress News" and "Right Now," which display the number of posts, pages and comments. If you are dissatisfied with the default dashboard, you can choose which items to display and then rearrange them however you want. You can also choose whether the dashboard uses a single- or multi-column display.
