How it works is very simple: once it’s installed and activated you can decide which articles to add to the highlights section, how many to display, the display order mode and the size of the image retrieved ( it takes the first image in the article and automatically resizes it using the “ timthumb.php” script). **Subscribe Plugin Newsletter** [Sign up](http://yourinspirationweb.com/list/?p=subscribe&id=4) **Support Forum** For any clarifications, suggestions, or criticism you can leave a comment on [Forum Support](http://forum.yourinspirationweb.com/support-featured-post-with-thumbnail-plugin-f21.html). **Some Features** * Specify a title to be shown on the sidebar. * Choose the number of articles to display in this section. * Choose the way in which the articles will be ordered. * Define the dimensions of the image that will be created. ## Screenshots [⌊Add featured post⌉⌊Add featured post⌉[ Add featured post [⌊Admin widget Featured Post⌉⌊Admin widget Featured Post⌉[ Admin widget Featured Post [⌊Widget Featured Posts in action⌉⌊Widget Featured Posts in action⌉[ Widget Featured Posts in action ## Installation The Featured Posts can be installed in 3 easy steps: 1.
