Creating Tabbed Pages With Simplicity Using Views

I am hoping that someone will look at this post. Recently many of my posts have just sat unanswered. Surely you've experienced this fate :).

Here's the problem. I have created a view like thus...

( page )
Provide Page View: Yes
URL: node/$arg/tab2
View Type: Table View

( menu )
Provide Menu: Yes
Provide Menu as Tab: Yes
Tab Weight: 2
Menu Title: Author

Assuming ONLY the above settings, you'll end up with a node looking like this...

Some Node Title
_| View | Edit | Author |_

help needed! Migration to drupal from simplephpblog

I wonder if anyone has tried to migrate from simplephpblog to drupal ? What procedure i should take ?

I had an old blog in simplephpblog and want to migrate it to drupal. There are mainly text, some graphics and some code. I don't care about the comments or each "post" 's rating. I just want the content. But it will be great if I can maintain the category of each "post".

Migrating from PunBB Forums to Drupal

Right now I have 4 systems running PunBB as the Forum manager. I also am a moderator for a large medical site that is thinking about migrating from PunBB to Drupal.
I was wondering if anyone out there has done something like this. I saw a few posts about PhPBB, so I am sure it is similar.

In terms of the database. We have over 7000 members with over 11,000 topics. Is there a way
to migrate some of that information from PunBB (MySQL DB) to a Drupal system?

How do i restrict what roles a user can be assigned

I'm new to Drupal and not sure if I'm asking a stupid question or not, but here goes.

On my test website there are 3 user roles

- programmer (can do everything, basically sets up the site)
- content owner (can create content, and add users)
- content editor (updates content)

This role structure is very simple, but what I can't work out how to do is stop the content owner being able to create a user of any type! They could just create a programmer editor and go click happy!

Last time I ask before abandoning Drupal

I have spent almost four weeks now trying to get drupal to run how I need it to. I have spent almost $100 on books and asked questions on the forum - most of which have not been answered. I even posted in the paid help section to try and get help by paying for it but this has not worked out either.

In contrast I managed to get a Joomla site up and running to almost the same stage as the drupal site and this only took 3 days plus every question on the Joomla forums has been answered (except one). There is also a wealth of free and commercial plugins for Joomla whereas drupal seems to be less so.

I know it is like comparing apples and oranges but when rapid development is required I have to look at what I can achieve in as short a space of time as possible. I prefer not to give up on Drupal but I have reached the point where I am stuck and do not know the solution. So this is my last ditch plea for help before I ditch drupal and go with Joomla.

The Problem
I am pulling RSS feeds into my site for a jobs section and am using default aggregator. Inside the jobs section the feeds are being placed into categories. (Accountancy, Building etc). I need two things in order to proceed:

1) Instructions on how to use Views and Feedapi to build an A-Z sorter bar and also alphabetical sored teasers (so Accountancy comes before Building)
