Description
The main Webwatch Index Page displays the last 5 news items for each topic, and provides links to news index by topic pages (which use the same block layout) which display all news items for a specific topic.
In all cases, the entries are taken from RSS feeds from the MDC DevNews weblog.

Common Elements
This page uses the common navigation bar, search box, page tools and footer, but a custom side bar.
