Does anyone know where i can get topic icons for newspaper topics such as features, arts, enterntainment, sports, events, gig guide etc...

Topic icons are nothing more than 49px by 49px images of any web-displayable type. I have been making my own icons with my digital camera & GIMP or with just GIMP (or you can use any graphic editor).

On my main site I have a topic entitled "health" and for that I grabbed my wife's stethoscope, put it on white paper, and snapped it with my digital camera. I converted the image thus created to gif, edited out the background, and scaled the image the proper size and that is my "Health" icon. My sitematters icon I just used GIMP to create a 49 px by 49 px image with lines of 1s and 0s.

Where you could find someone with icons such as you want already created? I suppose you could surf google images or newspaper sites, but then you have the copright issue to contend with.

BTW the shortness & pudginess in my pic is exagerated by scaling!
