Hey BeatBox,
I ended up hacking the core. While it’s a dirty fix–and I am beginning to believe just completely rewriting the core myself from scratch would be cleaner and more secure–it gets the job done.
Hopeful Bump x2
Okay, I’m still interested in hearing more about how the Admin Panel is put together, but–I just found the index.html file in the wp-admin directory. <)
(I’ve been using a nifty work around at work to establish an ftp connection with my server and–neglected to realize that the client I am using only loads 25 files onto the page at a time. Four days of searching documentation and all I had to do was hit ‘Next’… X| )
Here’s to never working in an unfamiliar office environment again.
Doh.
