resolvedFirst off, the Artfull theme is fantastic, thanks Milo great work.
now for my question, the news widget, is there a way to make it "not" just the last three posts? can I make it three completely different things?
and additionally...am I blind? is there a way to shut off some of the widgets on the front page? http://bedlamite.com/bawm/
News code:
you may need to edit the php code in order to show more items,
open s_footer.php at wp-content/artfull/inc/ and search for this line:
showposts=3&offset=1
showposts indicates the number of shown post, change to your likings.
Widgets:

Single post view:

Frontpage post view:
thanks for the speedy response, I did figure out how to turn it off, put something else there...doi...guess the theme is too intuitive for me, I'm used to things being much harder than your making it...thanks again for the great themes!
tho, if I did want to use the news widget again, is there a way to make it call for articles that maybe don't appear anywhere else?
Articles from other sources? External?
hmm...not really external (tho that would be useful too) what I'm looking for is a way to make the three "articles" on the front to stay there all the time, but I thought about using the news widget as a way to add changing articles as well...so I guess I'm looking to make posts, that ONLY show up in the news widget, and don't appear on the front page... did that make sense? :)
Give the 3 articles own cats like front1, front2, front3,
asign it in the options,
then only those posts will show up there,
New widget works the same:
each of your cats has own feed,
see it here 3oneseven.com/topic/design/feed
url structure is like this:
yoursite.com/category/categoryname/feed
then use the rss widget, copy your news cat feed
and asign it.
Thank you kindly!
