Ever since WordPress started including blog entries from WP-people in the Dashboard (first page of the administration panels) it annoyed me. Not only because I don’t care or wouldn’t like to read their blogs (I don’t in principle, but don’t mind them), but also because it did so without asking me and without explicitly giving me an option to disable it. It kind of felt like an intrusion, almost as bad as having ads on your IM client or popups on web pages in 2000. Ok, not that bad, but you get the picture.
Fortunately it takes less than 10 seconds to comment out the appropriate lines. These are line 10 and 11 of the file index.php found in the wp-admin directory of your wordpress installation.
Silence is gold.
