We can now create threads in the Kindle Developer's Corner with a new "HowTo" prefix.
When you create a thread, just select a prefix from the "Prefix" drop down menu in the "Post New Thread" page to indicate the major topic category you want listed to the left of the thread title.
When adding to index wikis, you can put links in all appropriate categories, but you only get a single thread prefix.
Now the prefixes match the index wikis. I hope this helps.
Thank
dreams for adding this prefix for us!
