Hi Mark,

I have to jump in here to and thank you for the plugin too. It is very useful in communicating things to my authors.

I’m also interested in the multiple instances idea. And I was thinking along the same lines as Bhavya, renaming it and changing any references to the name in the code.

But what I would really like to do it put it in a different place – right below the main text area on the ‘add new post’ page – so I can include some instructions on how and what I want them to write, right there :)

Do you know an easy way to do that? I’ll be experimenting with the idea.

Thanks again, Chris

Hi Mark,

Is there a way to post multiple post its on the dashboard? I was just thinking of copying the entire contents of your plugin and naming it something else.. thinking that WordPress might see it as a different plugin.

Just thought I’d ask you first :)

Thanks,
Bhavya

It works perfectly fine with 3.0+. I have been slow in updating it because I have to find time for adding some code to preserve the note’s content during upgrade. That went wrong last time and I don’t want to inflict that again on users.

Nice plug-in, any chance of getting compatibility with the latest version of WordPress 3.0+?

excellent solution to post info for multi authors. Especially as it is visible on dashboards across all user levels. Saved my bacon after a day of fruitless cloning and copying dashboard stuff

cheers

Dang, Martin, really sorry about that. It happened to me too. I have committed a new readme with a warning in several places.

Arg. Just should put that warning up somewhere where it’s well visible. I just lost a bunch of important notes :(

Okay, I just uploaded version 1.1 which fixes the line break issue (Martin's suggestion) and makes the title editable (thanks Ben for the suggestion). Warning: upgrading will cause your custom text to be lost. I see no easy solution for that; a workaround is to copy your text before upgrading and paste it into the new version. Sorry about that.
