And change Uncategorized to the name of the category you want to feature.

2. Go into Admin >> Appearances >> Editor >> index.php and find these lines:

php query_posts(“showposts=1&offset=0&cat=-1”);
php $posts = get_posts(‘numberposts=3&offset=1&cat=-1’); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp();
php $posts = get_posts(‘numberposts=3&offset=4&cat=-1’); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp();

And change -1 in cat=-1 to the category ID number of the category from step 1.

2. Go into Settings >> Reading and at the top of the page under “Front page displays” click the button next to “A static page” choose the new page you created in step 1 from the dropdown box. Save your changes.
