   I am modifying wordpress for a client of mine that owns a restaurant.

   My end goal involves slimming down the WP menu and dashboard.

   I have been able to accomplish this by commenting items from
   ./wp-admin/menu.php
   ./wp-admin/index.php

   and adding

   #dashboard-widgets {visibility:hidden}
   to ./wp-admin/css/dashboard.css to hide the dashboard widgets.

   and some general information to
   ./wp-admin/admin-footer.php

   Now, I am looking at adding elements to both the menu and the dashboard, so, if anyone has dealt with anything like this, any advice would be encouraging. I have found it difficult to locate all the necessary files for these changes.

   Also, I would prefer to write a plugin to make similar changes for me, so that in the future, the changes may proceed quicker.

   Please feel free to tell me I am describing my project adequately, and I can clarify.

   WP menu:

   footer:
   

   add_action( 'in_admin_footer', 'td_adminFooter' );
   function td_adminFooter() {
    echo "<div class='name'>Your Text Here</div>";
   }

   You can also unset the dashboard widgets, so they never load. Good for use from a plugin, or theme functions.php. That way you don't edit core files, and end up losing your changes on every WP upgrade
