SharePoint central administration tip - use those resource links

Some of the service application administration pages in SharePoint 2010 are incredibly hard to get to.

Hands up who knows - in their head right now, without checking their central administration: how to get to User Profile Service Application, or Search Administration page?

For those of you that don't want to be hunting for the link - find them once, and add them to the Central Administration Resources links on the right hand side of the landing page.  There's a big empty links web part there waiting to be used!

I should probably give them better names.
