 * Hi,
 * I’m using GFWA in 2 instances on my home page:
    - As a featured post image at top where many sites have a slider. This post 
      is the the most recent post categorized as ‘featured’. These posts also have
      other categories.
    - Below that, in 3 columns, the rest of my most recent posts. I have this setup
      as all categories.
 * Because of this setup, my featured post, also gets included in the posts in the
   3 columns.
 * Is there a way to prevent this? Maybe something along the lines of having the
   widget in the 3 columbs show all posts EXCEPT the most recent X (one in this 
   case) in a certain category?
 * Thanks for your help or any thoughts you have on this issue.
 * Lynn
