Adding customised textfield

    Dear WordPress users,

    As a relative new user to WordPress (and starting to really like it) I was wondering what your opinion was on something and I would like to know if experienced users actually think this is the best solution, or something similar like what I need is already available in plugins. I have looked for it extensively but A) it is not there or B) I can’t find the right searchterms to look for it.

    Ok, so here is my ‘problem’. In my new website I want to be able to, apart from the usual textfields, menu items etc. be able to edit 4 extra text. These texts will be placed in the header using <div>. As this possibility is not given I am not quite sure what is the best way to proceed.

    Now I don’t know if i should create just normal pages for it, link it to some hidden menu structure and then use php and sql to link the textfields to the location of the editable page using SQL. Or I should hack the wordpress admin site to create a new menu button and create my own userinterface where I can edit these 4 textfields and reuse the wordpress interface to give it the WP look and feel.

    What do you guys think?
