2. News Block

3. Guest/Members online

4. Newest member

5. I dont know but is there a Hot Topic block, if not most recent topics and there is also a scrolling block for that

6. O yeah and a Poll Block

Here is what i have on the portal on my other site if you would like to view it http://vidsontheweb.freeforums.org/portal.php and  im not trying to promote that site here, but that is just a view of the portal on there what we have set up

We did have SMF before but if you go through my post on here i have explained why we had  kepted one of our old sites

I have an idea - in addition to the other ideas -

a recent gallery uploads block

You could do a table in an html block and make the background of the table the color you want.
The fonts you could use html to do. 
<font face="verdana" size="1" color="#FFFFFF">your text</font>
Replace "verdana, 1, #FFFFFF" with the font style, size, and color you want to use.

This page has some good info on how to do html as well as doing tables, etc:
http://cedesign.net/index.htm



Or you could set the background color/links and font color of the block by editing the stylesheet.

You would add the following to the top of your css
(note:   the word "portalbgcolor" can be changed.  be sure you use the same word in both the css and the portal block)
Edit the colors to your liking   

.portalbgcolor
{
color:  #FFFFFF;
background-color:  #FFFFFF;
}

.portalbgcolor a:link, .portalbgcolor a:viisted
{
color:  #FFFFFF;
}


Then when you do the html block in your portal do this:

<div class="portalbgcolor">

your text goes here

</div>
