Short text from blog on Dashboard

Question

Hello All!

Please help me, is there any way to show short information (ex: several words or more) of each blog that is on dashboard.

For example I can see comments, but no information about blogs only summary on dashboard.

Confluence version: 3.5.4.

Good! Thank you, it's almost what I want, but I want to see it in All Updates list if possible.

Is it possible?

There is indeed.

1) Go to Administration->General Configuration->Site Configuration->Edit

2) Set the "Site Welcome Message" to the following wiki markup:

@{blog-posts:7|content=excerpts|space=@global}
