First I want to say a magic job on this theme, I can see me making good use of it in the future!, Only one question, how do I get the ribbon to display like on the demo site? Is there an extra module I need? I just can't figure it out.

Thanks

Unfortunately it currently needs to be manually entered in a block. I would love to find a way where it could be automated though.

The code that is used on the demo site is:

<div id="cat-1" class="category">
<p><span class="cat_title">Arthemia Free</span>
<a href="http://michaelhutagalung.com/2008/08/arthemia-20-released-the-updates/">A high quality theme originally released for wordpress with critical acclaim. There there was release two, improving some aspects of it to solidify its reputation.</a></p></div>

<div id="cat-2" class="category">
<p><span class="cat_title">Now available for Drupal</span>
<a href="/node/1">The theme has been ported to Drupal. It has all the existing functionality, now available on this high quality CMS system.</a></p></div>

<div id="cat-3" class="category">
<p><span class="cat_title">Improved, modified</span>
<a href="/node/6">This is not a straight port - Some aspects had to be modified to better fit in with drupal, or just to improve the usablity and readability of content.</a></p></div>

<div id="cat-4" class="category">
<p><span class="cat_title">Configurable Regions</span>
<a href="/node/4">With 10 user configurable regions, you have massive levels of control over how your site looks. You control what blocks show and where.</a></p></div>

<div id="cat-5" class="category">
<p><span class="cat_title">Local.css</span>
<a href="/node/5">Unhappy with some aspect of the theme? the theme supports a local.css file - just drop it into the theme folder to override any of the existing css properties. Simple and efficient.</a></p></div>

(you will need to choose an input format that allowed styles and div elements. I am using the full html input format for it with the html corrector turned off.)

I tried this, but get error when saving. I'm using full html filter.
Some idea?

Message:
Error 500: Internal Server Error

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

The problem is on the server side, not with your browser or the address. Most probably, a certain service (e.g., Tomcat engine) is down. Please contact your webmaster.

Edit:
Is it possible that it will automatically add the blocks horizontally in the "Middle"? Then I can use it to add different blocks with different categories of news

The code above should not produce a 500 error. Its likely that its caused by some level of .htaccess error, permissions on the file may be wrong, the apache vhost may have an invalid setting. 500 errors are because of server configuration issues. As with the Edited part, on the demo page there is a comment where someone gives a block of php code that you will place into the block instead of the normal code. You then have to make a content type called 'newsribbon' and when you create newsribbon nodes, the latest 5 will be posted in the categories area. you can also change it to use any other content type.

http://arthemia.theraggedyedge.co.uk/node/8#comment-28

where it says

$nodetyp = 'newsribbon';

in the code, change 'newsribbon' with another content type name if you want to use an already existing content type

Thank you so much for posting the full html that was used on the demo. I installed this theme a while back and had a very hard time figuring out how to add it. My boxes were all uneven and messed up. I'm so glad to say that adding it this time took about 20 seconds.
