   How can I make a plugin send an alert to one's dashboard at the top right below where the WordPress upgrade notice might normally appear?

   I imagine I need some kind of add_filter() or add_action() call in the plugins' code.

   <? function addDashboardAlert() { ?>
   <style type="text/css">
   .alert {
   padding-top:4px;
   padding-bottom:6px;
   padding-left:302px;
   background-color:#ebfbff;
   border-bottom:1px solid #CCC;
   display:none;
   }
   </style>
   <script type="text/javascript">
   $j = jQuery;
   $j().ready(function(){ //when page has fully loaded
     $j('h2:contains("Dashboard")').parent().prev().after('<div id="my-plugin-alert" class="alert">X Plugin 2.0 is available. <a href="">Upgrade Now!</a></div>');
     setTimeout("$j('#my-plugin-alert').fadeIn('slow');clearTimeout();",1000);
   });
   </script>
   <? } add_action('admin_head','addDashboardAlert'); ?>
