My WP host disables the Quick Draft box by default, but I want to add it to my dashboard again. I got it to show up by adding the following to my functions.php. But as you can see from the screenshot it’s showing up in the top left-hand corner, underneath the sidebar. (It’s the white boxes barely visible in the upper left.)

add_action( 'wp_dashboard_setup', 'wp_dashboard_quick_press' );

I don’t have access to the main CSS files, and any positioning I’ve tried to add in my theme’s style.css accomplishes nothing.
