Expandable Dashboard Recent Comments v1.1

I’d like to announce the official release of the updated Expandable Dashboard Recent Comments plugin (v1.1) for WordPress.

Adds the ability to do an in-place expansion of comment excerpts on the admin dashboard ‘Recent Comments’ widget.

The plugin’s official homepage is located at :
coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/expandable-dashboard-recent-comments.

Minor update. Highlights: adds filter to allow customization of configuration defaults; verified WP 3.0 compatibility.

Comments welcome on this post for this version of the plugin. Comments will be closed once this release has been superseded by another.

The plugin enhances the Recent Comments admin dashboard widget to allow them to be expandable and works with whatever comments get listed within the widget. It does not have a frontpage presence, so you may be thinking it does something it doesn’t.
