   I'm somewhat of a novice at all this and really could use some help. I've gotten everything to work on a template/theme I downloaded, but can't get in contact with the designer.

   I think it's simple for a more experienced person and this is a pro bono effort on my part.

   The website is http://www.phozam.com

   The "featured article" section is in the bottom left of the site.

   I believe the correct code is in the footer.php file

   <div class="seprator2"></div>
       <div class="wrapper">
       	<div class="footCol">
           	<div class="col">
               	<h2>Featured Articles</h2>
                   <ul class="catListingF">
                   	<?php
   					$my_query = new WP_Query("meta_key=post_featured&meta_value=1&showposts=" . footLinks);
   					if ($my_query->have_posts()){
   					while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
   					?>
   					<li><a href="<?php the_permalink()?>" title="<?php the_title()?>"><?php echo substr_ellipse(get_the_title(), 30); ?></a></li>
   					<?php endwhile;
   					}else{
   					?>
                       <li><a href="#" title="No Featured Article">No Featured Article</a></li>
                       <?php
   					}
   					?>
                   </ul>
               </div>
               <div class="col col2">

   I'm not sure if the code is wrong, or if I just don't understand how to interface with it via the WordPress dashboard...

   Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!
