WordPress Dashboard Widgets

Creating widgets for the dashboard accessible on the WordPress back-end is a great way to communicate with your other blog users (editors contributers, etc.). The example code on this page is pretty straightforward and easy to understand. I don’t think it’s very interesting to learn how-to move the widget and it’s more interesting to know how-to create a widget. You can write widgets like plugins, except that you need to extend the widget class to get them into the widget list: class My_Widget extends WP_Widget { function My_Widget() { // widget actual processes } }
