curious
I want to have only the most recently entered featured news item display on my main page. After that, I'd like the older stories to be accessible only through their respective links (such as news, GeekLog, etc.). Is there a way to do this?

This does something similar. It allows you to show only the featured article on the first page, and then links to all the other articles behind as usual.

See it in action here.

Cheers,

Another way to achieve the same thing would be to set all the stories to "Show Only in Topic", although that would require manual changes on every story.

bye, Dirk
