Good News
I found the old dashboard.
Christ, I wish WordPress would stop fucking around with the interface. Have you ever noticed there’s multiple links allowing you to put up a new post and each one takes you to a different format? Oh, well. Now what the hell was it that I was thinking before WordPress pissed me off?

What’s changed? It looks the same cobbled together, badly designed, horrible mess it was the last time I looked at the stats/reader page, to me.
Mind, I’ve got the dashboard and the proper add-new-post page bookmarked anyway.
