I=92m currently doing the same thing but using Panels instead of Views. I d=
on=92t know if one way is better than the other.
With Panels you can create a page layout that suits your site then create t=
he theme.
I am then just adding a new page for each tab and linking the content to it=
.

Thank you you for responding. I am so new to this. Therefore please apologi=
ze any stupid questions that I may ask.

I have our theme for the HOME page that is page.tpl.php which has a header =
content area and footer. For the conenet area I am using 3 column stacked p=
age layout.

Mostly all sub pages have content on the LEFT side and navigation on the ri=
ght hand side.

So what I understand is that I would create 4 different views for 4 tabs.Sh=
ould I have to create another theme that would be applied to this page and =
other such sub pages?

Where will I place these 4 views?

What matrial should I read to understand this concept?
