I really liked your cleaned up interface, but I missed having easy access to the feed items, so I’ve hacked your hack. I added a “news” section with show/hide links that dynamically toggles the display of the community news feed (in standard link format instead of the big grey boxes) and the wordpress blog.
I’ve also cleaned up the “Activity” section to make the presentation a bit more consistent. All sections are now in unordered lists instead of using / dividers for “write” and “comments”. The “latest posts” and “latest comments” sections now both use named links that take you to the article and an edit link that takes you to the “edit” screen. Previously, “lastest posts” used a view link to get to the article and the named link, went to the edit screen.
Right now, those feed items are still loaded, but not displayed, so it take 2 or 3 extra seconds the first time you load the page. When i get a bit more time, I may add a small form and toggle the community feeds and devblog at the server side instead of the client, so that if they’re not required, they won’t need to be loaded at all.
Anyway, I know that this probably won’t appeal to you, but it might appeal to readers like me that are more concerned with the interface than with the time it takes to load the page.

I renamed the original ‘index.php’ as ‘oldindex.php’
Then, at the hacked Dashboard version 2 after:
There are currently posts and comments, contained within categories.
I added the following line:
Old Dashboard
This way I can switch back and forth the original Dashboard and the information it carries.
June 18th, 2005 at 10:42 am
That’s a very good idea. Now you can get the feeds when you want it, not pushed down your throat

I could not find your trackback link, but I just wanted you to know I implemented this and I am IN love.
July 12th, 2005 at 8:59 pm
Hoo-ha! Very cool. Was thinking of ding this same thing… I really disliked having those blog feeds on there… In fact, my initial thought was: “Who the hell are they that they get this?” … if I could have at least customized them…

Well just one issue. Write and Comments catogries ib the dashboard (Under Activity on the right side menu) shows up for users who do not have access to write and comments. So can you fix this or tell me how I can please?
Thanks a lot,

I will look into it. Though I suspect that any solution will change with soon to be released WordPress 1.6 version.
November 16th, 2005 at 2:43 am
Hey,
All right cool. Then I guess dont worry about it.
Though, do you plan on doing the same for 1.6?
Could you make it a plugin perhaps?
Thanks again,
Will

[...] I did however notice a bug of sorts in WordPress… When going into the WordPress dashboard, it takes over 30 seconds on a new install. This appears to be due to the news feeds WordPress makes you view every time you open the administration panel. Problems are not without fixes, however.

@Avid
Disable all your plugins. That should solve the problem. Then re-enable them one at a time till you identify the plugin responsible.
April 5th, 2006 at 11:30 am
FYI - I commented out line 13:
require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/rss-functions.php’);
and the admin is now LIGHTENING fast.
