Hi all,

After some further work, I would like to invite everyone to have a look at mYvBindex in action on my personal web site. Purpose of this is to share with you my implementation of mYvBindex and to hopefully get some feedback or answer any questions that you/I may have.

Why did I choose mYvBindex? Well, it has some nice features that are usefull on any personal web site. It allows me to run a 'blogg' style news on my home page. I can have a quick weather report for my city (London), but also any other city in the world.
Mini calendar reminds me of upcoming events, and pulling this information from vBulletin, shows me private as well as public events.
Last ten posts show me the latest forum activity at a glance, without the need to go to the forum itself, and it pulls site visitors to it.
Displaying poll on the home page adds some valuable content and lets visitors get involved further.
These are only a few features that I use at the moment, but many more are to be found in the mYvBindex hack.

But some of the greatest advantages for me are:

- the ability to back up the whole thing in one go
- the ability to update my home page from anywhere in the world with no need for FTP access.

I am trying to find a way to integrate my other (non vB) pages into the vBulletin (like my 'about.html' page, so that whole site is inside mysql database, meaning easy backup and restore, as well the ability to update any page within the admin cp.

I still have long way to go in order to create the site that will cover most of the angles of what I need in the personal web site area. Nor do I 'speak' the word of PHP, which I must start to learn, in order to achieve some of my goals. But hats-off to people like Tigga and others who give large ammounts of their time to us, in order to help and resolve any problems we may have.
