Help Creating Featured Post for my Wordpress Blog

Can anyone help me out setting up an entry on my front page

http://talkbinary.com

That would feature a post from a certain category?

I want that entry to look like a traditional post since all my other entries appear as blocks with an image and short description.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Try adding this to your index.php:

<?php
query_posts('p=5');


while (have_posts()) : the_post();

the_content('Read the full post »');
endwhile;
?>

Change the number 5 to the id of the post you want to show.

 

I'll try it out. Thanks.

Any other suggestions?
