Title

How do you add custom fields to the site's General Settings 

Description

You can do this by altering the feature.
 
Go to:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\SiteSettings
 

and look at SiteSettings.xml.  Y
 
You will see each of the possible items and
what restrictions are applied to them. 
 
Here's an example:
 
    <CustomAction
        Id="SaveAsTemplate"
        GroupId="Customization"
        Location="Microsoft.SharePoint.SiteSettings"
       
Rights="AddAndCustomizePages,BrowseDirectories,ManagePermissions,ManageSubwe
bs,ManageWeb,UseRemoteAPIs,ViewFormPages"
        Sequence="60"
        Title="$Resources:SiteSettings_SaveAsTemplate_Title;">
        <UrlAction
            Url="_layouts/savetmpl.aspx" />
    </CustomAction>
 
Note that the sequence numbers were moved by 10, which is the positioning. 
 
 
Note as in III.04 the possibility of using 
 
    RequireSiteAdministrator="TRUE"
to restrict this addition to the General Settings to the Site Administrator.
