 * We’ve been looking for a plugin to display a custom message when users login 
   to their dashboard, filled with HTML markup (hyperlinks, boldfacing, italics,
   etc.), and only editable by the admin.
 * This plugin does just that!
 * It would be nice to have a built-in HTML editor in the WP Admin back-end, but
   if you are savvy, a bit of hard coding (HTML) will get the job done.
 * Also, a built-in editor for the widget title would be nice, but this can be edited
   by visiting Plugins >> Dashboard Message >> Edit. Here, you can edit the following
   code to re-name the widget:
 *     ```
       //Setup the widget
       function setupMessageWidget(){
       	wp_add_dashboard_widget('dashboard-message', __('ENTER WIDGET NAME HERE -- DO NOT REMOVE SURROUNDING SINGLE QUOTES','dashboard-message'), 'displayMessageWidget');
       }
       ```
   
 * Thanks again!
