Well after many days somehow, I finally got the dashboard as we know it. Now, I would like to add some plugins ! Reading through all the writings, they refer to index.php as your main page. However! When I go my server and enter the folder I find (2-3) index.php files within the folder. For example under wp-admin.php there appears an index.php etc; Referring to the first index.php folder it contains only the following = <?php/* Short and sweet */define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);?> whereas wp-admin.php which also has a index.php contains the following which is entirely different ! = <?phprequire_once(‘admin.php’);require_once(ABSPATH . ‘wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php’);wp_dashboard_setup();function index_js() {?><script type=”text/javascript”>jQuery(function($) { var ajaxWidgets = { dashboard_incoming_links: ‘incominglinks’, dashboard_primary: ‘devnews’, dashboard_secondary: ‘planetnews’, dashboard_plugins: ‘plugins’ }; $.each( ajaxWidgets, function(i,a) { var e = jQuery(‘#’ + i + ‘ div.dashboard-widget-content’).not(‘.dashboard-widget-control’).find(‘.widget-loading’); if ( e.size() ) { e.parent().load(‘index-extra.php?jax=’ + a); } } );});</script><?php}add_action( ‘admin_head’, ‘index_js’ );function index_css() { wp_admin_css( ‘css/dashboard’ );}add_action( ‘admin_head’, ‘index_css’ );wp_enqueue_script( ‘jquery’ );$title = __(‘Dashboard’);$parent_file = ‘index.php’;require_once(‘admin-header.php’);$today = current_time(‘mysql’, 1);?><div class=”wrap”><h2><?php _e(‘Dashboard’); ?></h2><div id=”rightnow”><h3 class=”reallynow”> <span><?php _e(‘Right Now’); ?></span><?php if ( $can_edit_posts = current_user_can( ‘edit_posts’ ) ) : ?> <?php _e(‘Write a New Post’); ?><?php endif; if ( $can_edit_pages = current_user_can( ‘edit_pages’ ) ) : ?> <?php _e(‘Write a New Page’); ?><?php endif; ?> <br class=”clear” /></h3><?php$num_posts = wp_count_posts( ‘post’ );$num_pages = wp_count_posts( ‘page’ );$num_cats = wp_count_terms(‘category’);$num_tags = wp_count_terms(‘post_tag’);$post_type_texts = array();if ( !empty($num_posts->publish) ) { // with feeds, anyone can tell how many posts there are.

I simply donot wish to mess this up ! Which index.php do I change the source code on? Sorry for the long jargon / read and thank you.
