Just the FAQs Blog

The Right Now module on your Dashboard page gives you a quick overview of your blog’s status. The left column details information about your posts and pages. The right column details information about comments made to your posts. Clicking any of the text links redirects you to the appropriate page for more information on that element.

One of the most important areas of the module is on the right side. You can see how many Comments have been left on your blog and how many are awaiting approval. Simply click the word “Comment” and you will be redirected to the Edit Comments page.

Don’t be surprised if you don’t see any comments in your list. The page defaults to show the list of comments pending. If you have the Askimet plugin installed, it will automatically place the comment in the Spam list; however it often displays it as a legitimate comment in the Right Now module.

So, if you see it in the module, but don’t see it in the list, look across the top of the list for links Pending, Approved, and Spam. Click those links to see those lists.

Hovering your mouse over the title bar of the Right Now module causes a down arrow to appear in the right corner. Clicking the arrow minimizes the module, but you’ll probably want to leave this handy overview fully displayed at all times.
