Using the Topics Module

Users have direct access to the Topics module, which looks something like Figure 29.5. Each topic is displayed in a box, along with its icon; also listed is the topic name, the total number of items, and the total number of times the topic's items have been read. Adjacent is a listing of the topic's articles. This is an easy, straightforward way for users to access past stories for a particular topic.
