  Has the dashboard changed? I have three huge empty boxes uselessly taking up space, while the dashboard tools are mere icons – I can only see what they are by mousing over them. What is the point of the empty boxes? I’d send you a screenshot but I don’t see way way of attaching one here.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  To show us a screenshot, you upload it in Media > Add New, copy its URL, paste it here.

  Click on “Screen Options” at the top on the right side of the screen to get the drop down – then see if things link “Stats” are checked or not – check the boxes you want to have show.

  I did that and changed the number of columns, but it’s still a lot of wasted space and I really would like to have more than just icons on the left. I liked it before, with the dashboard tools labeled so I didn’t have to mouse over them to identify them. Do you know why this got changed?

  Dashboard > far left column of icons > scroll to the very bottom and locate this link > Collapse Menu and click it.
