## Description

This plugin will allow you to specify a custom news feed to display in widget on
the admin dashboard. This works in unison with the [`Dashboard Custom Feed Admin`](https://wordpress.org/plugins/dashboard-custom-feed-admin/)
plugin which creates the feed.

This is mainly useful for notifying all your clients of something through their 
wordpress dashboard, whether that be a link to a new blog you’ve written or a notification
asking everyone to upgrade their versions of wordpress. It’s really up to you what
you show in there.
