How do I make a HTML widget to show a specific topic?

[osirisguitar]

I have a topic I want always to be linked from my custom home page. There are widgets for popular topics, suggested topics etc. but nothing for one specific topic. How would you write a custom html/script block to do that?

If it's just a specific topic can't you just put a link to it? as in <a href="/topic/123">My always visible topic</a>

OK, that's one way. I would like a like with teaser and "latest updated" etc. if possible...

@osirisguitar You may want to try my plugin featured-topics-extended, it comes with the widget Featured Topics List, which displays a list of topics just as they would appear on the category page. Admins can select exactly which topics to display in the Topic Tools menu when visiting a topic.

Here is an example with two topics selected.
