Displaying Current Topic Categories
How-To Posted by on Saturday June 28, 07:11AM, 2003
from the slashdot-wannabe dept.
One of the cooler features of Slashdot, especially for newbies to the site, is their Current Topic Categories page (http://slashdot.org/topics.shtml). I've managed to duplicate that page using plain ole DTML and some style sheets. Read on to see how.

I'm not much of a web person (give me an RTOS any day), but I managed to hack up a page that looks similar to Slashdot's Current Topics Page. (http://slashdot.org/topics.shtml)

The only flaw, as far as I can tell, is that the spacing of the icons is different, but since this is my first style sheet I'm hoping someone else can tackle that problem.
