    Have you tried using the sticky post feature in Wordpress? And for the magazine style TinyMCE plugin using tables or the Raw html plugin. Or find or purchase the theme like the Revolution themes?

    You dont have to code anything

    Install Featured Content Gallery (its free) and then activate it. Go at the settings page and get a code similar to this:

    <?php include (ABSPATH . '/wp-content/plugins/featured-content-gallery/gallery.php'); ?>
    Code (markup):
    Add that code in your index.php where you want the featured content to be displayed

    Thanks for the reply.

    But I don't want to use any plugins. It must be in the feature of the theme. I want to edit my existing WP theme and then add a featured post and change the frontpage to a magazine style theme with a thumbnail of the photo in the left side..

    Anyone can help me to code it? I will really appreciate it.. Thanks..
