If you have a home/front page to your forum

what did you use to design with? Dreamweaver? And, whatever you used, how easy and well did it integrate w/ vBulletin? THanks!

vBAdvanced... Integrates rather well.

oh didn't know there was such a thing I'm assuming I get this on VB.com?

Thanks!

I use vBadvanced cmps as well. You can see it here - http://www.themesbydesign.net

vba's cmps is a free add-on and you can find it at www.vbadvanced.com

I also use Wordpress along with the Wordpress/vBulletin bridge mod to power the homepage of my forums. It delivers a lot more functionality because there are limitless WP plugins you can install. And as Loco.M mentioned, it's great for SEO (when combined with the All-in-one SEO pack).

vBadvanced is very limited in my book and it's a challenge to skin. For simplicity's sake, I recommend going with Wordpress!

Naw I don't find vba a challenge to skin at all. And you can change the layout all kinds of ways, you just have to dig into the templates, plus read some tutorials at vba. It's amazing what can be done with it if you have the time to put into it.

I'm wondering how Wordpress is any better for SEO than vBa? Just curious...
