Featured Blog Post On Home Page
 

I want to be able to have a blog posting stay on the home page as a featured content until we change it. I don't want it be rolled away when a new blog post is posted. Does anyone know of a plugin that will allow me to control the contect in the bottom section of the home page?

here is my test site http://www.questyx.com/wdc

Thank you.

There are a couple of different ways you could do it. Where do you want it to appear/stay? in the first section?

I would like to be able to allow all 4 of the sections to be controlled and allow me to select which post to feature manually. I've zipped and attached 2 php files that some in the forum sent me that works GREAT for selecting static pages, but not individual blog posts. Which I need.

Thanks.

Create 4 categories (featured_01, featured_02... Etc) then assign those where appropriate to be shown. So you can write a post of ex. Cat News and featured_02, and it'll show in the 2 place, when you have another newer just deselect cat featured_02.
Simpler to do than to explain. Sorry.

Yes that makes sense, but my issue is that the way the file is setup it doesn't allow me to select the blog postings, just page links from the nav. I can't figure how to create it so that it will allow me to select the blog postings as well as the static pages in the file to do this.

help with hpbottom1 etc
 

I have a similar request, I have created four categories Featured_01 thru 04. I have tried to change the home.php file to reflect those categories, in my case 5,6,7and 8 respectively. I cannot get any posts to show up in hpbottom1-4. Where exactly do I place the category numbers in the home.php file? Am I missing something here?

below is where I have changed home.php to reflect category 5.
