    This neglected plugin uses the ancient version of the WordPress widget API where it was hard to make multi-instance widgets.

    I need to rewrite this and my other dashboard widget plugins to use the newer widget API that would make this request a breeze. I’ll add it to my todo list.

    So actually it turns out the dashboard doesn’t use the newer API and is set up for only single instance widgets. That sort of makes sense — I mean where would you drag in new instances of the widgets from?

    In order to get multiple instances, I’d have to do some crazy hack where I dynamically create multiple independent widgets and I’d rather not do that. 🙁
