kingdomtools, are you looking at a specific place on the admin page? There are filters and hooks but they are kind of scattered. The Admin Panel Tips plugin uses one of these hooks but it;s at the top of the admin page.
You can find a list of the admin add_actions here if you want to see what's available and where things are on the admin page:
I was thinking of an area like the QuickPress in the work area of the dashboard page. In fact, I'd like to place an "ad box" right above (or below) the QuickPress box
OK, got that. thx. Installed and added. working on the content.
Also installed the dashboard-widgets-order.php file.
How do I find the names of the widgets that are in there, more specifically the name of the custom content dashboard widget I added via the plugin?
EDIT:
I see from inspecting the page elements, that it is 'custom_content_dashboard_widget'
