external application within Admin

I recently added a page to a website that needed to be updated by google spread sheets which was a little confusing for the editors to update as they not only needed to login to the cmsms admin but also google spreadsheets.
to get around this I installed the "Skeleton" module: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/skeleton
and simply edited the "adminpanel.tpl" to look like:
That's really all there is to it. This way everything is done inside the admin.
I'm sure this is a no-brainer for most here but I got an "aha" moment
so thought I would share
of course this works with any external webpage...
