vb.org's style is custom and not available for download. Many users use a portal system like vbadvanced to get a similar look.

I believe it pulls it from the database. That would be the easiest way to complete such a task.

You can either pull from the database, pull from the RSS feed, or setup a datastore variable and pull form the datastore.

Actually, it pulls it from the rss feed.

you could just install vbadvanced goto the vbadvanced settings, news options and set a news forum.

Anythign that is posted in that forum will show on the front page if you set the "edit pages" homepage to show news.

Really? I would have thought database would have been easier. See, you learn something new everyday.

The RSS is probably more efficient.
