> How to direct user to dashboard instead of their on user account page after
logging in?

> The seems to be the number 1 request from my lyceum site user base.

I asked a stupid question because of a wrong assumption. The assumption is each user only has one blog, therefore, lyceum can direct them to their dashboard. But with lyceum, each user canhas role in more than one blog, therefore, there's no way lyceum can know which one to direct.

I got these requests because most users on my site only has on blog, so they assume redirect should be done. They just want the section where has link to their blog bigger and easier to find. For first time users, they tend to ignore the slim section at the top. Smaller means less important, right? One can argue blogger/blogspot and other similar service ( wordpress.com?) has been using this layout for years and everybody by now should be familiar with it. But blogger/blogspot has been blocked in China for years so we are not. ;)

Since, it's extremely rare that a user want to update her profile. It's also extremely rare, in my case, that any user would fill in contact info and about yourself. I will just hack the profile page.

I know hack the profile page code is bad. This is what i come up as a temporary solution. I will consult a friend on the list privately.
