    yep - Vkaryl's edit only streamlines the dashboard. Check out the other posts in this thread to do that.

    Now - what I would REALLY like to figure out is to have WordPress return to whatever page I was on when I decide to log in (I have a login link on most pages).

    Well, that's a cookie function I've no doubt. I'm not much good on cookies, you'll have to wait for someone else or do some research on the 'net....

    Damn shame there isn't a user level dashboard and an admin level like most control panels. I'm kind of stumped on what the point of users registering is. Simply for posting is great but it seems silly to have a whole profile and confusing dashboard page on login just for that...

    Cross your fingers on the next version unless somebody knows something I don't. Post if you do.

    I guess I'll just try and edit the dashboard page to be more user friendly because honestly as admin I could care less. Any tips on how to edit this page?

    My solution to this problem involves the use of a simple plugin and a modification the the .htaccess file. No core code needs to be touched:

    The Plugin
    -------------
    <?php
/*
Plugin Name: AdminLinkRemoval
Plugin URI: NULL
Description: Removes specified links from the admin panel
Version: 1.0
Author: Michael Fields
Author URI: http://www.mfields.org/
*/
add_action('admin_menu','mf_delete_links');

    function mf_delete_links(){
global $menu;
unset($menu[0]); // Dashboard
}
?>

    The .htaccess
    ------------------
    We'll assume that your domain is "test.com"
    and you installed wordpress in a directory called "blog"
    and that the .htaccess file is stored in the "blog" directory

    
RewriteEngine On
RedirectMatch permanent ^/blog/wp-admin/index.php$ http://test.com/blog/wp-admin/post.php

    Note: There should only be two lines in the htaccess, the text might be wrapped.
