I see that there are a lot of solutions to this such as create your own module and also use Views to do this but I was just wondering if anyone has seen a module to create new node tabs. I notice that there is a lot more information out there on making your own module as opposed to creating a View that can handle this. If anyone has any info on creating Views for something like this would they mind sharing, please?
Thank you.

When you create a view with
When you create a view with page display, the page display can have a path. To make it a tab of node/{nid} the path would be of the form "node/%/something", replacing 'something' with what ever is appropriate. You would also set menu type to "menu tabs" and the title to what you want to show on the tab.
Thank you for your
Thank you for your suggestion, it helped me to get going with the Views module (as I am fairly new to Drupal) and I am able to create views for some of the other stuff I need but I am still having a hard time creating a view of the "Create Blog Entry Form" for each user when they are logged into their account. I am looking at a few different ways of trying to implement the form. So basically to clarify:
When my user is logged in to their account I am trying to create a tab system (to replace the VIEW and EDIT tabs that I find to be very un-user friendly)
The tabs will be:
CREATE NEW POST / VIEW MY POSTS / EDIT PROFILE / LOGOUT (maybe include this here, for now I have it located somewhere else)
Inside CREATE NEW POST:
I would like to display the Create New Blog Entry Form.
Inside VIEW MY POSTS:
I am going to display a lists of all the posts that user has made so that they can go in and edit or delete them. I think I have already figured this out using Views.
Inside Edit Profile:
I will show exactly what is currently in the EDIT tab.
And for LOGOUT - havn't quite decided to put this here but I think it would make the most sense to the user if I did.
Also, thought I would mention... I am figuring that after I create all my views then I will use the Quick Tabs module to implement them (and perhaps not use the Tab selection within the Page view). Not sure if this is a good idea or not.
If you have any more suggestions I would gladly like to hear about them. And I really appreciate your earlier tips for helping me get going with working with Views. Thank you.
What you are after is
What you are after is possible but not out of the box and will probably require some custom code. To change the way Drupal works by default will require an investment of study and time on your part.
