Some content on this site requires a manual sort. We use the Drupal module “Nodqueue” to do this:

 

Editing, adding and removing items from the Queue

At the time of this writing, this site use the Constant Contact service to keep newsletters. While the Constant Contact module did not have the functionality that we needed, we just decided to use a regular content type for it.

You can create dashboard of your own with the Views module. You can edit these lists of information to suit your needs.
