<p>Some people like to have their posts link to a “stacked list” of articles instead of the full<br />
article. This modification to the Genesis Featured Post Widget adds a checkbox to the widget<br />
configuration that will tell the widget to link to the category page instead of linking to<br />
the article directly.</p>


Featured Post Widget – Link to Category

Modification of StudioPress Featured Post Widget that enables an override link to the category.
