   Hi, I need help on making a featured post section on my blog.

   I want the top post on the index page to be a post on the featured section and the next post would be the normal recent posts.

   Heres my Blog : http://johnibanez.net

   Heres the code for my front page if it will help:
   

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   	<div id="content">
   
   	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   
   <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox?from=sfx&uid=249473&t=306"><div class="firefox"></div></a>
   
   		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   
   				<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   
   				<div class="entry">
   					<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
   				</div>
   
   				<p class="postmetadata">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> <strong>|</strong> <?php edit_post_link('Edit','','<strong>|</strong>'); ?>  <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
   			</div>
   
   <!-- nuffnang -->
   <script type="text/javascript">
   nuffnang_bid = "66820df94e5924dd2d1a4ed70cbd04b0";
   </script>
   <script type="text/javascript" src="http://synad2.nuffnang.com.ph/j.js"></script>
   <!-- nuffnang-->
   
   		<?php endwhile; ?>
   
   		<div class="navigation">
   			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
   			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
   		</div>
   
   	<?php else : ?>
   
   		<h2>Not Found</h2>
   		<p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
   		<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>
   
   	<?php endif; ?>
   
   <script type="text/javascript"><!--
   google_ad_client = "pub-9617820754242436";
   /* Line AD */
   google_ad_slot = "9484255509";
   google_ad_width = 430;
   google_ad_height = 15;
   //-->
   </script>
   <script type="text/javascript"
   src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
   </script>
   
   	</div>
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   Not too sure how you are designating 'featured' so this example assumes featured is a category.

   <?php
   $posts=get_posts('cat=1&showposts=1');
   if ($posts) {
   foreach($posts as $post) {
   setup_postdata($post);
   ?>
   <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   <?php }
   }
   ?>
