<p>The Admin dashboard in WP 2.7 has a neat Recent Comments Box, from which you can manage and reply to comments directly. The only problem is that it shows the comment excerpt instead of the entire comment text. This means that you basically have to load another page to view the entire comment.</p>
<p>This simple plugin fixes this issue.</p>

Show full comments in the Recent Comments box on the admin dashboard.

<p>This dashboard widget provides a simple notepad. The widget settings allow you to choose which roles can edit the notes, and which roles can merely read them. Version 1.30 also adds support for custom roles and integrates with the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/members/" rel="ugc">Members plugin</a> for role settings.</p>
<p>You can display the contents of your notepad using a template tag and/or shortcode. The widget permissions apply to these tags as well: only users with permission to read the notes will see the notes on the front end. You can use <code>div#dashboard-notes</code> in your theme’s CSS file to style the notes.</p>
