Dashboard Customization

Permalink
hello,

ive been reading through the white labeling "how to" & arrived at the Dashboard Customization part. this goes on to show you how to edit this page & indeed either delete the news items or swap them for your own content/blocks...

Ive tried to edit each block but it doesn't allow this even though the article indicates you can.. so i wondered...

would it be possible to take the welcome back part of this page & use it in a block on its own?
if so, can anyone show me how it can be done?

thanks
pat
