Hi,

Thanks for the great theme, I have only been using WordPress for a couple of days and your theme is fitting in nicely with the design of my website.

I have setup a static homepage with a slider, I would like to add some featured stories underneath this linking to different blogs but I am unsure how to do it.

I have tried using widgets but can only place these in the footer or side menu.

Can you help me insert featured stories. The design I would like to end up with would be similar to this one but with unlimited featured stories 3 wide scrolling down

Thanks in advance

Do you mean “blogs that aren’t yours”? In that case, you want a “scraper” widget.

If not, please advise.

Sorry no blogs that are mine.

I want to create a front page with links to new recommended blogs in rows of 3 across and unlimited number down.

Create a custom class to style each block that contains a featured story. (Do this in custom CSS or a child theme.) Then use the text editor on the front page and apply that class to each block.

This is not difficult, but it is more complicated than flipping a switch. How good are you with HTML and CSS?
