Lesson Requirements

WordPress installed.

Step-by-Step

To reorganize the Dashboard, follow these steps:

1. Click and drag the header of the QuickPress box downward.
2. When you get below Other WordPress News, stop and let go.
3. Go back up and double-click the header of the WordPress Development Blog box (which should be at the top of your right-hand column). The WordPress Development Blog should now be collapsed.
4. Do the same for Other WordPress News. You should now be able to see QuickPress without having to scroll.
5. Go to Screen Options and click it.
6. Uncheck Recent Comments and you should see it disappear.
7. Close Screen Options by clicking the button again.
8. Return the Dashboard to the way you want it.
