How to present this layout...

OK – I’m having problems figuring which tag to use to layout a site:

http://www.aguawebs.com/bits/cat-layout.gif

I’ve explained the areas down the right hand side, but basically there are 6 catgeories in this section and I want to display them as per the link with the category name at the top (<txp:category />), an excerpt of the first article with “Read More” (rss_auto_excerpt) using and then a link to the rest of the articles in the category…

I’m fine making the form to display, but which tag do I use to display and sort the order (if any)?

OK – the only solution I have come up with for this is to use 6 different txp:article_custom tags using the form described above and sorted by category… does that sound like a solution, or would there be a better way?

Hi tye, article_custom is the way to go I think. This is what we use on our site.
