Thanks for the response. I did initially try using block.super, but because of the HTML my dashboard pushed the sidebar down. I really wanted to get my dashboard inside the main content div for aesthetic reasons, so I ended up copying the block contents. I really wish there was there was a empty {% block custom-dashboard %}{% endblock %} in there for just this purpose, but there wasn't. I suppose they can't anticipate everything and leave "holes" everywhere. But you're right, I'll have to diff my template with the admin template whenever I upgrade to see if I am missing a change.
