For whatever reason the text ad is now showing on the Qawoo.com site. I didn't change anything. I suspect it may have been something on Google's side.

I'm don't mean on the home page, I mean on the blog page at http://mark-abbott.com/small-business-development/ which is displaying using the StudioPress blog page template.

The home page is widgeted.

Hmm... I'm sure it can be coded to work that way in your themes home.php file. I'm not as great with coding as I used to be, so I am going to have to defer to other more code-minded folks here on the boards.

 

sorry but I don't want to steer you wrong.  🙁

The Featured posts plugin does pull out the formatting when it is pulling in the excerpts or page content (unless set to show all content)
I have not found a workaround or alternative to that.

Now about the repeating posts:

Go into the bottom of the two Featured Posts widget and find the "Number of Posts to Offset:" setting.  Set that to "1" (without the quotes).  That will make it skip the most recent post, and start with the one after that.  Does that make sense?

Azparis,

Can you post a screenshot or link to the page doing that.  I'm not sure I understand what it's doing.

You are most welcome!

I have not used the Blissful theme, but I think that area on the home page is a widget.  If it is, you should be able to put two Featured Post widgets in that area.  Genesis will stack them on top of each other.

[vwondra]

Try stacking your Featured Posts widgets.  Make the first one pull in only 1 post, and show full content.

Then put a second Featured Posts widget under it with a 1 post offset, and set that widget to pull in only excerpts.

That should work.
