    Just a quick one this time guys,

    Does anyone know if there is a plugin or such like to add a featured post to my home page / static landing page.
    I have spent hours trawling through the plugins directory, but still can’t track one down. Maybe I’m missing it because of the title or something….???

    I’ve seen this featured post on other peoples blogs, also done with WordPress so I assume there must be something available, unless everyone is coding it themselves…???

    Any help would be great

    Thanks

    Steve

    You can create a Page Template, then in that Page Template use the template tag, query_posts(), to display the featured post. After you create the Page Template assign it to a Page.

    Also something like the Mimbo theme (index.php) uses a number of different query_posts and loops to display posts called Featured Posts or Lead Stories.

    Also note that 2.7 has a sticky post feature for sticky a post to the top of a list of posts.

    There’s also plugins:
