   I am looking to add a featured post section to my website. This is my website. www.sportfiends.com

   I want it to look similar to the one they use over at this website, where it rotates.

   How would I go about doing this? Are there any plugins available?

   To add a featured post section, you'll need to create a category or tag called 'featured', or whatever name you want. And then use get_posts()

   See http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts

   The documentation is very good. Take a look at the example. You'd simply use the 'include' parameter to only show posts within that category. And you can use 'numberposts' to limit how many are shown, etc...

   As for plugins, you might be interested in the Popular Posts plugin

   However, it works along with WordPress stats, so you'll need this plugin as well. And it also rotates posts by popularity.

   Thanks for your help.... I just found this though and it's too late. I already found a plugin that does what I'm trying to do called the featurific

   Thanks anyway. I really appreciate it.
