Featured Stories

[Honeybee]

So, I added a "featured stories" function to the front page of our archive. It's not as pretty as I'd like, but I"m working on that!

Right now, it features the first round Delphie Winners. However, we're not just going to use it to highlight Delphie winners. We're going to use it for all sorts of things, including staff pick weeks and theme weeks and all that.

So, keep an eye on it! Our archive is filled with stories that don't always get the attention they deserve. Hopefully, this will inspired everyone to discover great new tales.

Is there any way to get this on the Blanc site skin or would that involve a lot of coding and work and stuff? Because the default skin is a bit busy for me, but I'd like to be able to see the module.

Obviously this isn't a big deal, and you should make sure the one on the default works fine first. I just figured I'd ask.

That's definitely a possibility! I'll work on it when I get home.

It's done! You can now see the featured stories on the skin blanc!

Hrm. It looks a bit funny in Chrome for Mac. Lots of white space. Let me take a screenshot of the page...

All right. Warning: it's a big file. http://i.imgur.com/IWxyb.png

That does look weird. Give me a bit and I'll see what I can do.

No worries. I know the pain of "ok, it's broken... and now I've fixed it but this other thing is broken, or is it really? And this fix works but I have no idea why" all too well.

I got it! I think it should work now, the featured stories are now below news.

It looks great! Thank you.
