Adds a simple ‘Post-it’ widget to the Dashboard that allows you to leave yourself or other authors a note. The plugin can be configured and moved around as any other Dashboard widget. It will accept plain text or (sanitized) HTML. Only users with the capability “Edit dashboard” can edit the note.
This simple plugin is based on code from <a href="http://wpengineer.com/add-wordpress-dashboard-widgets/" title="Add WordPress Dashboard widgets" rel="nofollow ugc">WP Engineer</a> and <a href="http://rick.jinlabs.com/2009/02/01/how-add-options-to-your-wordpress-27-dashboard-widgets/" title="How to add options to your WordPress 2.7 Dashboard widgets" rel="nofollow ugc">Ricardo González Castro</a>.

Warning Your notes will be replaced by boilerplate text upon upgrading. Make sure to copy the content somewhere else before you upgrade and then paste it into the new version. Sorry about that!

<li>custom post types from other plugins (except the notes from this plugin)</li>
<li>users</li>
<li>plugins</li>
