I'm trying to add an 'articles' section to my website... and have been looking around for either MODs or other ways people have done so.
The only thing I've come up with is the Mini Knowledge Base (in BETA) -

I'm sure there are other ways to add an Articles section... since they're so common... This Mini Knowledge Base appears to need some major fine-tuning, and I'd rather stay clear until it's out of BETA.
Does anybody have some advice on a good way to do this? Somehow, I doubt creating an index page, then new page for each article that's added... and linking it in... is the most efficient, creative, or best way to do this.

Probably easiest to setup WordPress and use that for articles...

Re: Creation of "Articles" section
I wasn't quite sure from your post if you're looking to make your own or install a software. Most people use some form of a content management system (CMS) or a basic blogging software. Check out http://opensourcecms.com/ for demos and reviews for most of the major open source ones. The most popular are Wordpress, Joomla, and Drupal. Otherwise, if you want to make your own, I'd do a search for a tutorial on how to make a CMS or ask around this forum.

Okay I looked it up and Wordpress is along the exact lines of what I was thinking about... thanks both of you.
I am using phpBB3 right now, so I looked it up and I guess I am going to try using this WP-United converstion tool. Hope I don't screw everything up.
Thanks again!
