 * I would like to create an admin page that matches my external pages instyle, 
   and also that has limited functionality. I’ve seen a couple plug-ins that let
   me customize my own dashboard, but not for a different role, and none (so far)
   that let me edit the way it looks. Any suggestions?
 * Thanks,
 * Corey

 * Role manager should do most of what you want.

 * Yes, role manager and ‘hide dashboard’ have allowed me to limit access. Thanks
   for that.
 * But I want to actually style the dashboard, or more create my own with just post
   and manage posts for authors. Any ideas?
