Your Dashboard: Right Now

Your website at a glance:

Called “Right Now”, you can see how many posts you have, how many pages, what categories the posts are in, how many tags you have created, how many comments people have made on your post(s), and whether those comments are approved, pending, or spammed.

You can also see what theme you are using and how many widgets, what version of WP you have installed, and finally a quick button to access your theme area to change to another theme.
