The last few days I have spent countless hours searching these forums for vBulletin Blog mods. There are very little and the only mods I could find are not what I need

A better blog home page

The current blog home page is too cluttered and my users would get information overload. I don't need the Random Featured Blog table. I don't want the Recent Comments table either. I also don't need the blog stats. The only thing I really want or need is a list of the most recent blog entries, a list of categories, and a simple search field for the blog.

A more independent admin blog

Currently, only admins and mods are allowed to post blogs. Is it possible to put a link in the nav bar to my (main admin) blog on the forum? A majority of users are coming just for my blog, and I want a quick link to it.

I would love any help or suggestions.

Note:
I have tried vBadvanced and . . . . . .I think it sucks. It is too complicated and not intuitive. I have little php code knowledge but if I don't find a mod I guess I am going to have to bite the bullet and start an in depth php education.
