Subject: create "front page" for a logbook 

Is there a way to create a "front page" or "table of contents" for a logbook?

While chronological entries are good and what elog was designed for, I find myself wanting a page to summarize important things
and/or link to important files that are somewhere in that logbook.  And, I would like to use the features of the elog editor to do (not just point
to another www page that points to the various elog entries).  For example, in an analysis logbook, you would like to have one page that
may summarize latest on analysis and point to best/latest plot/drawing of something and not have to re-search for it every time.

I think that start page with cmd to go to entry 1 (how do I do that?) may work.  Then I just keep editing entry 1 to point to latest info or
entries.  Will this work?  Will I run into a size limitiation if I attach too many files to that?   Is there a better way?

One could imaging using a wiki to do this, however, I never seem to get to updating our wikis... maybe I should just figure how to
get elog to do it.

Thanks.
