We’re positive that everyone works differently, in terms of how we like our workspace laid out. Personally, Lisa likes to have one long column of items so that she can scroll through and focus on one area, in particular, without other things to the right and left of her periphery.
In the same Screen Options area where you can remove modules (as dis-
cussed in the preceding section), you can also change the format of your Dashboard by choosing to have one, two, three, or four columns displayed on your Dashboard — just follow these few steps:
1. Click the Screen Options button at the top of the Dashboard.
The Screen Options pop-up menu opens.
2. In the Screen Layout Options section of the menu, choose the number
of columns you want displayed.
You have the choice of one, two, three, or four columns — check the radio button to the left of the number you want, and your Dashboard display changes immediately.
3. Click the Screen Options button again to close the Screen
Options menu.
You can see that Lisa likes all her stuff in one long column, which her per-
sonal blog’s Dashboard shows in Figure 2-2, where she chose to display
her Dashboard in a one-column layout. In Figure 2-2, almost all of Lisa’s
Dashboard modules are closed — you can open and close them when you
need to, based on what you need to see and do within your Dashboard at
any given time.
By using the features that enable you to customize your Dashboard, you can create your own, individualized workspace that works best for you, based on how you use WordPress. With these features, everyone can customize his own WordPress experience, and no two WordPress user experiences are necessarily the same — like snowflakes!
