Feature Stories

Okay – I tried to do what the codex told me to and I’m having trouble. I’m not spectacular with PHP but I know enough that I should be able to make this work.

Here is the code I’m trying to use to make a “feature post” – anyone know what the problem is? It’s basically coming up wtih a blank page…

<div id="content">
<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=featured&showposts=1');
while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
$do_not_duplicate = $post->ID;?>

<div class="feature-title"></div>
<div class="feature-story">
<h2>"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<span class="meta">from <?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?>\</span>
<?php the_content(); ?>
<span class="meta">Comments</span>
</div><!-- end of feature -->

<div id="advertise">
<img src="http://www.thepokerblog.net/advertise-top.gif" class="top" />
Sign up at UltimateBet.com and play against Phil Hellmuth
<img src="http://www.thepokerblog.net/advertise-bottom.gif" class="bottom" />
</div>

<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
if( $post->ID == $do_not_duplicate ) continue; update_post_caches($posts); ?>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

</div><!-- end of content -->
