Calling icons to the home page
What is the best way to place an icon in front each category on the home page with the latest Gossamer Links?

I apologize for the wording, I am referring to the images for the home page categories.

Just add a new field in Database > Category > Properties > Add field, and call it CategoryImage (CHAR - 255), and then upload your images to the server.

Simply edit your categories then, so you enter the URL to the image you wanna show next to the category.

Then. in subcategory.html - add:

Code:
<%if CategoryImage%>
<img src="<%CategoryImage%>" />
<%endif%>

Cheers
