I started a philosophy site a few weeks ago. I have the forum area up and running fine,  I had a former one,  but it was a wreck because I couldn't on my android phone arrange the new boards as I needed them to be arranged. I switched over to this provider once I saw I could do that on a phone.

I noticed I had a "home tab" next to my "forum tab", and did something briefly in ezportals I can't replicate,  which was adding text.

I shut it down,  but can't reactive it no matter what I do now.

Reason I'm excited,  my ambition is to set up a History of Philosophy section, 30-50 separate pages just dedicated to various philosophy schools.

My idea was to model it off of UNRV's forum (different style and focus of course,  I focus on philosophy,  they on Roman history).

This is what he did:

http://www.unrv.com/forum/index

That is his forum,  but he could make as many tabs as he wanted,  plus member blogs. I don't know how to add blogs right now. It is frustrating. I just made a subforum for that,  looks silly.

But,  then he has this:

http://www.unrv.com/empire/roman-history.php


I really,  really,  really want to do something similar. He has top ratings on every subject he talks about,  per page,  lots of people read him.

When I am in ezportal,  I can make new pages,  but nothing pops up when I try to post them,  my homepage remains empty.

How do I get to the point,  without taking a course on HTML,  on making my homepage silimal,  with a few dozen paged tabbed like he does on the second link? 

I see this forum technically could do it,  it say "Home", "Forum", "search", "admin".

How would I rearrange those,  and add new ones,  and when you click on one,  such as "Home" a new set of them pop up?
