Hi,

I just finished "upgrading" the codes found in the link you posted to 4.x (demo attached)..
If you are interested, follow these steps:

1. First of all, sign into your Admin CP ..
2. Then, go to "Styles & Templates >> Style Manager" ..
3. After that, choose "Edit Templates" option from your defined vB Style drop-down menu ..
4. Then, Expand the template groups and look for "FORUMHOME" template and edit it ..
5. Once you enter the template, look for:

   <!-- main -->

6. Add this above it:

   <!-- custom block start -->
   <ol id="XtraBox" class="floatcontainer">
   <li class="forumbit_nopost L1" id="catXtra">
   <div class="forumhead foruminfo L1 collapse">
   <h2 class="blockhead" style="border: none;">
   <!-- title start -->
   Title goes here
   <!-- title end -->
   </h2>
   <a class="collapse" id="collapse_c_catXtra" href="{vb:raw  relpath}#top"><img src="{vb:stylevar  imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" alt="" title="{vb:rawphrase  collapse_this_category}" /></a>
   <div class="blockbody" id="c_catXtra">
   <div class="blockrow">
   Add your code here
   </div>
   </div>
   </div>
   </li>
   </ol>
   <!-- custom block end -->

   If you don't want the block to be collapsible, use this code instead:

   <!-- custom block start -->
   <ol id="XtraBox" class="floatcontainer">
   <li class="forumbit_nopost L1" id="catXtra">
   <div class="forumhead foruminfo L1">
   <h2 class="blockhead" style="border: none;">
   <!-- title start -->
   Title goes here
   <!-- title end -->
   </h2>
   <div class="blockbody" id="c_catXtra">
   <div class="blockrow">
   Add your code here
   </div>
   </div>
   </div>
   </li>
   </ol>
   <!-- custom block end -->

7. Edit the codes to suite your needs and then "Save" the template ..

This is also XHTML and CSS valid and will keep your homepage validated OK.

I hope that this helps you out .!
