What does it look like ?

Dashboard

1. This animated gif is displayed on all pages whenever tasks are being timed.

3. Overdue projects and number of projects with either a 7 or 30 day deadline.
4. Number and value of Current Quotes - dormant projects that are not yet active.
5. Details of any tasks currently being timed.
6. Blog posts that appear in the ‘interface design’, ‘bug fixes’, ‘new features’ or ‘announcements’ categories.

The posts are listed on the dashboard for five days after the posts were created.
