I wasn't quite sure where to post this. I would like to incorporate guitar tablature files along with my vB forum. Is there some version of a content management system that would give me a "homepage", as well as let me link to and incorporate the tab files on it as well?

In other words, I'd like to be able to move easily and freely through guitar tabs, vB forum, and my "homepage" (or portal). Is there something like this, or some way I can do it? Thanks.

lol Oricon:p

As of yet there is no vB CMS (Even though there should be) released yet. The closet thing is a portal but you cannot add your own pages (easily)

Sorry, should have explained myself better. This is an example of a guitar tab (http://www.e-tabs.org/tab/pink_floyd/wish_you_were_here).

So is the only way that a portal type system can have information incorporated into it is if the information is within posts?

Yes, what you can do is use an exsisting portal and instead of using the news feature and just post guitar tabs on that.

And which portal should I be using?

TECKs and NTLDRs are good choices. Up to you

Thanks for the suggestions. Would there be any usefulness in me checking out WebTemplates (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54875)?

Yes, that would be another excellent choice:)

Would that help in incorporating the tabs at all?

IIRC it lets you add your own pages, so you will have to add each guitar tab to each page manually. Assuming you will have loads of tabs, it will take a long time

So the best way to do this, would be to have the tabs on regular pages?
