I've been trying to achieve this customization for some time and I seem to be running in circles, so I turn to this forum in case someone has pointers or suggestions for me.
Basically, what I am trying to achieve is this. I want users with a login to land on a personalized page when they log on. Then, on that page, I want to have a mini-blog where the site administrators and this user can each share posts, attach files and the like. In a nutshell, this serves as a way for site admins and user to talk to each other. Later on I'd like to put a calendar on that "portal" page, so that each user can have their own version of a google calendar, simplified of course, that them and the site admins may use.
So far, I've played with the Front Page module, and the CCK module, but I can't seem to make it right. I'm fairly new to drupal, but technically proficient.
Thanks!

One way to do this would be with the http://drupal.org/project/og module-- in this case, each user would be the 'group'. By doing it this way you get the benefit of all the add-on modules for og (ie og_calendar, og_autogroups, etc).
Another way to do with would be to use a taxonomy term for each user and setup their sites based on that taxonomy using http://drupal.org/project/views. You may also want to look at the author_taxonomy module.
As for redirects-- that's easy no matter which solution you pick. Simply setup a login redirect using core triggers and actions.
