[Zope] Display Plone Topic in body of page

My aim is to show a list of links to recently added content, such as news
items, pdf's, msword docs etc. on my sites home page. However, I do not want
every recently added content item listed, only selected content. 

In my limited experience it occurs to me that a Plone 'Topic' is the correct
tool to employ. Therefore, I've created a Topic called 'update' which
searches on the keyword (added to selected content items) 'update'. The
Topic works fine when logged into Plone and clicking on the topic name to
view all the links it collects. However, I want to show the result of the
Topic in the body of my index_html page to all anonymous users.

I am not sure if I should do this using Plone's edit page tool, or by using
ZMI to edit the template 'index_html' itself. I get the impression that it
could be done either way, but I'd appreciate any advice on best practice in
this regard.

An actual code example would be very appreciated as I am new to
Plone/Zope/TAL and Python. 

Many thanks.

Rod
