Comment(by janeforshort):

 In the course of WordCamp NYC discussions, I had an about face on my
 position on this one. Specifically, I was in favor of changing the default
 post to have the helpful stuff, but now I am not. Why? Because to us, it
 makes sense, but to newbies, it creates more confusion around where the
 admin/their public blog/documentation begins/ends. I think the default
 post should remain a "sample post" for the time being until we can do some
 testing. The people at the newbie track at WordCamp NYC would NOT have
 done well in terms of grasping that this was a sample post. I think a
 better alternative would be to drop the helpy text into the Help tab for
 the dashboard on the first load and have it open by default with a dismiss
 or something. I just want to avoid creating confusion between blog content
 and help content.
