Here is a sample on my sidebar here
Reeftalk Forums
You can do something like that on the vb4 sidebar using the sidebar block manager.
yoursite.com/forum/admincp/block.php
Basically you would add a new block type custom php make the name whatever you want and in the code portion use the contents of this text file filling in the proper infor for your install and you will get a sideblock list like this. This same code you could use to create a cms block as well whichever works.
