 * Are there any plugins and / or guides for customizing the admin interface? Basically
   I want the admin look like the rest of site, without wp news etc, so that users
   don’t get confused. My intention is to use wordpress as a multi user environment
   for posting observations. It’s not exactly a blogging site in the usual sense,
   so I don’t want the users to get distracted, they just need to be able to add
   new posts / comments and upload photos.
 * If there are such plugins what are the better ones? Anyone using them?
 * Thanks in advance.

 * you can hack it by hand yourself in wp admin, only trouble is it tends to get
   overwritten each new upgrade version of WP. I prefer to do this because I write
   my own custom “Welcome” message there on the Dashboard area, including useful
   links for registered authors.
 * there’s an alternative admin interface called Spotmilk, but I think it still 
   shows the Famous WP People feeds. Spotmilk might give you the option. I also 
   heard of a plugin called WP-Dash or so.

 * Thanks for your replyes.
 * I don’t want to modify the wp files for exactly the same reason – upgrades will
   become quite difficult. Will have to play a little with X-Dashboard to see if
   that’s what I need.
