Have you ever tried customizing the administration pages of IBM WebSphere Portal V5.1 ? If yes you may find this article interesting to you. If you don't then try it out and come back to this page you will find it valuable :)
I recently got a customer requirement where the portal page needs to be customized similar to my.yahoo.com personalization feature. I have tried this idea before and I could not find any solution but now my customer is demanding it so we need a solution. One of the interesting fact I found was IBM Portal Server does not provide enough documentation and guidelines for how to achieve this customization. The only information we can find out is that there is a "customlayout" portlet available and you can customize the user interface for that portlet. But it is not flexible enough to meet the requirements for two reasons.
