Dashboard

NOTE: 4.7 users and Drupal 5:
dashboard module is retiring. It's still available for 4.7, but will never be updated to 5. Instead, you should look at panels module which is a complete replacement for this module.

The dashboard is a simple node type designed to work like a static page that can display content in a two column format, with header and footer areas. It is meant to look like this:

+---------+
|         |
+----+----+
|    |    |
|    |    |
+----+----+
|         |
+---------+

Each area has its own section, created entirely by tags and styled via CSS. The CSS tags can be easily overridden in the any theme.

NOTE: Dashboard is probably misnamed at this point; it is merely the start to what the final dashboard functionality ought to be, which includes large amounts of configuration. I'm not entirely interested in coding that, though, so another developer may have to put in some work to get that functionality.
