Plugin for featured content?

[shoppemamma]

I am new to most of WP, so i apologize if my questions is silly or misplaced.
I am using Arthemia Premium in my site, but I am not satisfied and I am converting my projects and sites to Studiopress themes. My main sites will use the Magazine theme. However, I would really like to inklude the "featured content" in other themes. I am not experienced with anything but basic HTML- not CSS or php, so I can't/or dare not trying to do very much myself. In the Arthemia Premium I think the name for this feature is "Jquery carousel content gallery" or something like that.

The only plugins I find is the ones that displays large images, and that is not what I am looking for. I want a plugin ( and preferably a widget that not reguires any CSS skills) that shows post of selected category like arthemia does. And that is small thumbnails with exerpt/headline .Does this exist?

I must say that Studiopress is amazing, theese templates is in a league of their own! :smile:
