The source that you are basing your code off of is rather complicated, as it is trying to show all the different tabstrip rendering modes.  If I understand you correctly, all you want to be able to do is separate out your content into different tabs.  If that is the case then I would start with a much simpler example, or at least strip out all the extra javascript/rendering properties.  (Start simple, then work up from there).  That sample is in .NET to contrast the rendering with Atlas which requires .NET 2.x

As far as programmatically adding tabs, rendering tabs in different locations, etc.  This is planned to be worked on after I figure out all the plumbing for the dynamic loading of the tabs.  I still have quite a bit of work/research to do here though. 

As I responded to your blog post, I am trying to get this control ready by late december, but things may slip as other priorities come up along with finding some freetime from my normal job.

It sounds like you are still trying to have your TabRenderMode set to Callback...  If this is not necessary then change it to All.

Otherwise, I am going to have to suggest that you send me your module...  I have only done a little work (so far) in integrating the tabstrip into DNN, there are probably still some issues.
