Which WP theme are you using for your site?  Can i have the URL?  If your theme already has tabs then it will auto create the tabs when you create a new Wordpress PAGE.  If not, then there's a fair bit of work required to set up the tabs from scratch.

Yes, i would definately recommend that - it would save you a lot of time and effort Wink

But if you really must have the theme you are using then it is possible to create the tabs.

ok, so definately that theme has the tabs....they would automatically get created when you create a new Wordpress page.  If they are not then something's wrong Wink

So is the problem resolved?  If not, let me know your url and ill check it out.

cheers.

Ok, form plugin - i would suggest this http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tdo-mini-forms/

Nice plugin, takes care of forms pretty easily.

Re your second question, you should just add a standard hyperlink, making the url your full path to the page or post - you can find the full url of the page/post by editing it in admin and checking the Permalink.  Have you set the permalinks as per my suggestion in an earlier post?
