<p>Dashboard Notes lets you create super simple notes and instructions for your clients within the WordPress dashboard. Choose the color of the notification, whether or not to include a logo, and exactly what pages to include the notification on (uses simple URL matching).</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install the Dashboard Notes.</li>
<li>Go to Appearance > Widgets where you will see a new “Dashboard Notes” sidebar.</li>
<li>To create a note, simply drag a new widget into the sidebar and give it some content (we typically use a text/HTML widget).</li>
<li>Once you’ve added content to the widget, click save, and the Dashboard Notes settings for this widget will appear.</li>
<li>Adjust the settings to meet your needs, and click save when you’re done.</li>
<li>Refresh, or navigate to any page to see your new note in action.</li>
<li>Use the plugin settings found via <strong>Settings > Dashboard Notes</strong> to choose which user roles can/can’t see the notices.</li>
</ol>
