note to self: bug someone about the feasability of this.

8:55:57 AM: rahaeli: I wonder how hard it would be for us to let people define a custom menu item.
8:56:21 AM: rahaeli: Like the links list (only probably not using the same links), where they could title it anything they wanted and specify what pages went into it.
8:56:29 AM: rahaeli: Appearing after the Explore menu item.
8:57:04 AM: rahaeli: Since I know I'd fucking *love* to be able to shove a link to /admin/ in the sitescheme, but I couldn't imagine it being useful to more than .001% of the userbase, etc.
8:57:24 AM: rahaeli: And that way people who always lose certain pages can just stick 'em in their custom menu item.

How would that be different from the link list? If you wanted to just use it as a to do list or sommat?

Not speaking for rah, but I'd think that since the 'link list' is only available on your journal style, it's an extra click/page load to get there, plus it's visible to everyone who looks at your journal page (not sure she'd want admin functions visible to everyone even if they didn't have actual access to those pages). Whereas the 'custom menu' would be visible only to the user and could list all those pages s/he uses a lot and would be available from nearly every page viewed on the site that wasn't a specific user journal.
