Tabbed view on main page
Hi. I only have one content type which i have created called Submit. This content type has a title, body, link field, and image upload field. It also allows a user to select a category (of which there are 3 right now). these are predefined taxonomy terms.
I would like my opening page to have a block in the body section that has 3 tabs (one for each category) and the user can click on the tab to see the most recent postings for each category. just the title with a link to the actual node.
can someone give me some guidance on how to do this. i am just learning the views module but seems pretty easy to filter by taxonomy term. what i dont understand is how to craft this block view into a tabbed block.
thanks
i guess another option would be this
http://panels.demo.logrus.com/
which would be easier?

I use the http://drupal.org/project/quicktabs module to place views into tabbed blocks. Works great.

if you want tabs investigate the quicktabs.module, there is also a views_tabs.module that would be worth investigating.
You can use panels.module if you like or you can build a custom page-front.tpl.hp with it's own regions and put the blocks in those regions.
thanks! one springboard
