Recomend a portal for Vb?

**Greek76** · 07-07-2008, 04:56 AM

Im getting tired of vbadvanced. Id like to try something different with my newest forum. I also need something that is not difficult at all when it comes down to coding. Any recomendations?

Why not use wordpress? Excellent for SEO and easy to manage.

I vote for wordpress as well

Thats 3 for Wordpress.

It's easy to build templates with, works great, and has a huge list of plugins, support, and info.

Sounds good Im going to look into it. What about the login info and so on? Can it be combined with vb to work like vbadvanced?

well.. there is a wordpress vb bridge at vb.org
if you can get it working, it'll do what your after

Last I heard the wordpress bridge wasn't very reliable... of course, this was a while ago. How is it now? Does it work well with 3.7?

I have a question..I see the advantages of having blog as portal..But would it hurt the seo if had it as say a subdomain like blog.site.com or be better Seo wise with it as the protal?

I am liking the blog idea

mustang evolution is wordpress and vB combined. F-Body Online will be soon as well

**ArnyVee** · 07-09-2008, 04:13 PM

Mustang Evolution is a great site....what a solid and simple design. Did the site owner put it together himself/herself?

I think Rocket said it was designed by the same group that is doing his site.

That mustang site looks real good.

**Caddyman** · 07-16-2008, 02:34 AM

Mustang Evolution is pretty sexy, I have done work for Brent before. IMO he is a good dude, where do you think i got the idea for my welcome header/advertisement block?

This is part of the forum game, finding things you like on other sites and interpreting them for your own site...

So, has anyone made the switch from vBadvanced to WordPress lately?

I'd like to see what challenges you faced OR what a relief it was to switch.
