Anybody has an idea how they did the "featured blog post" / "featured story" on the homepage of http://www.yourmtb.com/?
I mean, how did they get the teaser of the featured post followed by a list of the other posts?
How would I go about to feature a specific member of my community site? Ideas, anyone?

Hi,
Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but I didn't see this post until just now. The featured post stuff is just a sql query where promote=1 and ordered by date descending. IOW, it's the most recent post promoted to the front page. We also segregate them by type ("blog" or "story"). The home page itself is completely custom PHP code inserted via the front_page module. These queries are done inside the hone page code.
HTH,
