If you use WordPress for maintaining your blog(s) you’d be logging into the admin console often, also known as the WordPress Dashboard. While its functional and has lots of related news I often find the page a little too busy and the heading fonts a bit too large! A small tweak to the wp-admin.css in your /wp-admin/ folder can make this a much more pleasant experience. Here’s how:
Download the following Zipped CSS file. Unzip it and upload wp-admin.css to your webservers /wp-admin/ folder.
Below is a comparison of what you get out of the box from WordPress and the minor tweak suggested by me.

Alternatively, if you are not bothered about the font size but only wish to get rid of the WP news add the following to your /wp-admin/wp-admin.css file.
#planetnews{
display: none;
}
Simple as! Enjoy your dashboard!! 
unless you’re willing to wait for WordPress version 2.5.
