Expandable Dashboard Recent Comments

By default, the Recent Comments admin dashboard widget only shows an minimized and truncated version for the comments.

This plugin gives users the possibility to expand those comments and read them all through.

It adds a link at the end of the comment excerpt (a ">>") that when clicked will replace the excerpt with the full comment.

The full comment can be switched back to the except by clicking a "<<" link.

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
