This is part of a larger movement we’ve been working on a long time, but one of the first steps is now here.
You now have a global dashboard at dashboard.wordpress.com that contains everything you’re used to finding under your dashboard tab.
What’s new? Before, people who didn’t have a blog but just an account didn’t have any sort of dashboard so they couldn’t edit their password, get their API key, upload an avatar, track their comments, or any of the other fun stuff you can do under your dashboard.
If you have a blog here, this probably isn’t a big or noticeable change.
Now blog-less users are first-class in the WordPress.com world, which is good because they’re over 100,000 of you!

Looks really nice 🙂 I just uploaded my new avatar through it 🙂
so awesome. thanks for making my non wordpress friends feel just as at home here!
OK, I’m sure it’s a good idea. But no “view site” link is a disappointment.
It confused me a bit when I went in as I have multiple blogs under one management – but nothing that can’t be handled.
Thanks.
Nice except that it reset all my statistics. :((
yeahh!
keep ‘m coming 🙂
Great for non-bloggers 😀
Nice feature in any case
Confusing.
I think I preferred my “own” Dashboard.
Great! I’ve got multiple blogs and one Global … Thing is very handy for that too 🙂
Cool!
100,000?? why not simply get a damn blog!
Very good!
🙂
Awetastic! Thanks! 🙂
Go Team!
Haha
cool! I came here to start a blog, so I didn’t realize that those without a blog were getting a differant deal… I’m glad to know that now all wordpressers get what we get, blog or no blog
P.$. You’re right, I didn’t notice the change! LOL!
~~EK
Cool, just like WP to be thinking of everybody. :]
Oh. I’m disappointed. When I found the headline on this thread, I thought that the spelling control now would allow people to choose language. My blog is not in English.
Well, well. Not my lucky day.
Virtual Hi Five, Thanks.
I love WordPress.com!!!
Thanks wordpress!
well i got confused this morning.
and i suppose that explains it.
oh good…
=)
That’s nice 😀
Thank you (:
Thanks as always!
Stupid question, but what use is an account that has no blog?
Matt – I am really grateful for the enormous platform you give me through wordpress. The readers of my newspaper columns are able to get back columns so very much easier now — and I do most appreciate it….. You show the web’s world-wideness so well….. I live in USA and my audience is largely in Southern Africa….. Rod Smith
I like this!!!!
something different
Nice hat
That’s it guys…find a way to share the love…
I noticed they changed it back to the way it used to be. Now, you get to the Global Dashboard by going to My Account –> Global Dashboard in the blue header bar. IMO, this is a much better design.
elpolaco, if you’re still not seeing how they changed it back to the way it used to be, go to the blue header bar and click on “My Dashboard.” That will get you all of your tabs.
thanks
ehmmm…..
No offense, but I think it was better without the Global Dashboard!
Neato!
Matt, one suggestion:
When I’m logged in to the GLOBAL dashboard, I can jump easily to the dashboard of a blog by hovering with the mouse over the GLOBAL DASHBOARD button.
But when I’m logged in to a dashboard of a blog I can’t jump directly to the global dashboard, because this hovering function of the DASHBOARD button doesn’t work there.
Would be nice, if this would be consistent.
sweeeet
This is great, and I am going to put it to the use.
cool…tnxxxx
Thanks a milliard!
coo
Let me onto this thing!
haarrr…great…haarrr…
Wow…….. keep growing! Saluuut. Terimakasih!
Now that there is a global dashboard, and a blog switcher, wouldn’t it make sense to seperate the stuff in the dashboards, where it shows new posts and such, so that it shows all new posts only in your global dashboard? And then only the new posts for the one blog when you are in it’s dashboard?
Great features, by the way. 😀
Great idea
Cheers
this is a the best feature i like in using wordpress. i hope we can also have list of history of wp users who visited our blog, just like the feature of mybloglog. ^^
Thanks…its cool tool 🙂

Beautiful templates, easy editing and posting and now, another fantastic option with your dashboard. Thanks.
I like it! Svidja mi se totalno!
NICE!
