Your dashboard page
Do you remember, while looking at your profile page, that there was also a Dashboard page available in your pages listing? This dashboard is the second type of special page in your Mahara portfolio.
It is special because it is the page that appears as your home page when you first enter your portfolio — the one related to the Dashboard link on the main menu.
Just as you were able to configure your profile page, you have flexibility and control over your dashboard too. This is great! You can make your dashboard page contain all the links, journals, RSS feeds, and information you want to view when you first enter the site, making your Mahara portfolio feel more personal to you.
You will be looking in more detail at how to configure this very special page and what you might want to put into it, in Chapter 3, Create and Collect Content. For now, let's open up your dashboard and see what it contains.
