   Hi everyone,

   Im trying to install a custom dashboard widget in my admin panel. In the "funtctions.php" file I have added this test code:

   // example custom dashboard widget
   function custom_dashboard_widget() {
   	echo "<p>Dearest Client, Here&rsquo;s how to do that thing I told you about yesterday...</p>";
   }
   function add_custom_dashboard_widget() {
   	wp_add_dashboard_widget('custom_dashboard_widget', 'How to Do Something in WordPress', 'custom_dashboard_widget');
   }
   add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'add_custom_dashboard_widget');

   It works perfect and the plugin shows under "Home" in the dashboard, but the problem is that I want this widget to show in under "Posts" / "Add-New" page in the dashboard among the other standard widgets (Categories, Tags, etc).

   How can I manage to do that?

   Thanks in advance!

   Maybe the function add_meta_box used together with the action add_meta_boxes will help you.
