Check items 2 and 3 in the Guide

Quote
2.  Board to display the news: Choose a Board in the dropdown list or make a new one just for this purpose.
        NOTE: The board must be one that is available to Guests.

   
3.  Number of news items to display:  Set this to the number of items you would like it to display in this section.
        NOTE: It will display only the first post in each Topic in the Board you chose above

You need to create the blocks.
At the bottom Type in a title for the block.
In the dropdown box choose  Board News.
Choose if you want it left, right or center.
Then click the Add Block Button.

Do that for each block you want on the Portal.. choose the type of block you want.
Guide tells you what each type is for.

I cant tell you what to put on them.  You'll have to think that over and decide what YOU want on there.
Try adding more blocks..  tell some to be on the left, some on the right..  after you make them you can always move them around.    It'll take some time and practice.

Check the section at the bottom where you did the Boardnews block.
There are preset blocks in the system.  Read thru the Guide, it explains what they are.
There are blocks for Who is Online, recent posts,  a search box, etc.
You add them the same way you added the Board News box - choose the one you want in the dropdown, remember to save it.
You can add html blocks.   Then in the section above you would click the edit hml link for the block and edit it.
You can paste in a code for a shoutbox for instance,  or codes for a music box or gosh there are so many things but you'll have to look around, do some thinking, figure out what you would like to have on your portal.   Do some searching with Google to find what you want -   Check other forums to get ideas.    Read thru all of the threads in the Guide Thread as there are ideas and tips throughout it.
