The feeds from Planet WordPress are featured on full version WordPress blogs on the Dashboard panel.

Planet WordPress used to feature a fairly boring and unfinished look, but now it hosts the same look as the rest of WordPress. And with the new change came this little old blog added to the feed list. Wow! And thanks!

I’ve been a huge fan of Planet WordPress for a long time, which is one of the reasons it was the first feed I placed in this blog’s sidebar accessories (Widgets). If you are looking for serious information about WordPress, Planet WordPress is the first place to start.

, including how many people want more control over feeds in their WordPress Dashboard. He also offered a variety of methods to change, disable, or replace the feeds for full version WordPress users.

I’ve also written some tips about customizing your WordPress Administration Panels, and offer up my own solutions to creating the the perfect WordPress Dashboard.

    I noticed this yesterday when I refreshed and all of a sudden noticed a couple of articles in my dashboard that I’d already read in my feeds. 🙂

    Lorelle,
    I’ve always wondered when Planet WordPress will start including your posts in the feed. It’s great to see your posts in the dashboard, a feature I really like. 🙂

    Wow, you’ve really moved up through the WordPress Community ranks! I remember the first time I saw you tinkering on the Codex. You started by just fixing typos and other inaccuracies as you noticed them, but in almost no time at all, you became one of the Codex’s major contributors, led quite a few Codex improvement efforts, and eventually became a Codex administrator. Since then, you’ve become a WordPress.com star, and now you’re part of Planet WordPress! Congratulations!
