Any articles can feature on the home page

Website Publishing Guide

The latest articles marked as featured will appear on the home page of your website.

It doesn't matter what category they belong to - not just News.

To display your article on the home page there are two methods:

Method 1 - Whilst editing the article

With your article open look on the right hand panel and change:

featured no  to  featured yes
When you have finished click the  save and close  button to save and close the article

Method 2 - From the list of articles in the Article Manager

Go to your list of Articles and select the Featured button in the Article Manager.

So this unfeatured article...

unfeatured article

becomes a featured article like this...

featured article

There is no need to save anything with method 2 - it just switches featured on or off
