    Hello, I'm quite new to Genesis and have a specific question about how to alter the output of the Genesis Featured Post Widget without editing the core files. It seems like I should be able to filter it, but I am not sure exactly how. What I'd like to show is the title (which has a checkbox) of each post, but not have it wrapped in 'a href' tags. I don't want the title to be a link which will take someone to a different page. My question is how can remove these tags and instead wrap the title in something else like an h3 tag?

    In the featured-post-widget.php file, I think I've found the right area to filter. You can see how it wraps 'class=entry-title' in the a tags:

    $title = apply_filters( 'genesis_featured_post_title', $title, $instance, $args );
    					$heading = genesis_a11y( 'headings' ) ? 'h4' : 'h2';
    
    					if ( genesis_html5() )
    						printf( '<%s class="entry-title"><a href="%s">%s</a></%s>', $heading, get_permalink(), $title, $heading );
    					else
    						printf( '<%s><a href="%s">%s</a></%s>', $heading, get_permalink(), $title, $heading );
    
    				}

    Any help would be great!
