   Great naming coup, Robert.
   Rereading Gibson’s DIFFERENCE ENGINE, decided to grab
   FUTUROSITY…but you were there first.
   Congrats.
   Not to mention hot template aesthetics!

   Thanks, orangina. I haven’t read Difference Engine. Do you recommend it?

   Eos is very classy. Simple to customize and everything I’ve needed so far. Thank you so very much for your efforts.

   I hope to go a step further later when I have the time to figure out why my featured post is always my freshest post. I thought it would stay the same until I decided to add another post to my featured category? I don’t really have time or need to make images for every single random post I do right before I go crash :/ Any ideas?

   Imokon, Eos is designed so the most recent post is always featured, but you don’t have to have an image attached to the post.

   If you want to have a featured post that doesn’t change with each new post, you’d have to have something like the featured post in Futurosity Vero, which displays the last post in the Featured category.

   I don’t have time to do it for you, but you can grab this code from the Vero home.php file and edit it for use in Eos:

   
   <?php $feature_post = get_posts( 'category=23&numberposts=1' ); ?>
   <?php if( $feature_post ) : ?>
   		<h2>Featured</h2>
   <?php foreach( $feature_post as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
   <?php $feature_post_id = $post->ID; ?>
   <?php if (function_exists('c2c_get_custom')) : ?>
   		<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>">
   		<?php echo c2c_get_custom('post-image','<img src="','" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="post-image" />',''); ?>
   		</a>
   	<?php endif; ?>
   		<div id="post-<?php the_ID() ?>" class="<?php sandbox_post_class() ?>">
   			<span class="cat-links"><?php printf(__('%s', 'sandbox'), get_the_category_list(': ')) ?></span>
   			<h2 class="entry-title"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php printf(__('Permalink to %s', 'sandbox'), wp_specialchars(get_the_title(), 1)) ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title() ?></a>
   			</h2>
   				<?php the_excerpt(); ?> <span class="published" title="<?php the_time('Y-m-d\TH:i:sO'); ?>"><?php unset($previousday); printf(__('%1$s', 'sandbox'), the_date('', '', '', false), get_the_time()) ?>
   			</span> &diams; <span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link(__('Comment?', 'sandbox'), __('1 Comment', 'sandbox'), __('% Comments', 'sandbox')) ?>
   			</span>

   Thank you so much for taking the time to extract that for me. Much appreciated! I’ll definately work with it sometime this weekend.

   Hi Robert, Futurosity Eos is great theme. Thanks for release it.

   I was looking to do something what Imokon wants. I solved by using Asides and Customs Fields. You can see it in my blog.

   Now it looks pretty like a magazine. Thanks again!
