macmanx> Probably. I think all you need to edit is the index.php file in /wp-admin/, but don’t quote me on that.
Let me quote you on that ??
I am not sure many people will understand this. To clarify.
Yes, you can trim the Dashboard yourself and to do that you have to modify only the wp-admin/index.php file.
Or you can simply use my dashboard hack and be done with Dashboard problems forever. I believe there are other hacks too and probably a plugin too. I know Squeag had modified my hack to include some relevant feed info too. You will find the link by following the link above in the comment section. Off course you can always Google.
There is a third option. Wait for the WP feed(s) to get fixed. And then you will start seeing WordPress feeds again, till the next time it breaks ??
