<h3>NS Featured Posts</h3>
<p>This plugin adds checkboxes for each list item. You can easily check/uncheck the Featured flag. Checking the Featured will set the meta value <strong>yes</strong> for meta key <strong>_is_ns_featured_post</strong>. You can choose which post types you want Featured functionality from plugin settings.</p>
<h4>Using in theme</h4>
<p>This plugin only sets/unsets the meta key for assigned posts. You need to implement it in your theme to get Featured functionality.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>$query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_key' => '_is_ns_featured_post', 'meta_value' => 'yes' ) );
</code></pre>
<p>This will fetch the list of posts that are checked as Featured.</p>

<p>Genesis Featured Widget Amplified adds additional functionality to the Genesis Featured Posts Widget.  Specifically it:</p>
<ul>
<li>Supports Custom Post Types</li>
<li>Supports Custom Taxonomies</li>
<li>Exclude Term by ID field</li>
<li>Supports Pagination</li>
<li>Supports Meta Key Values</li>
<li>Supports Sorting by Meta Key</li>
<li>Multiple Hooks and Filters for adding additional content</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin requires the <a href="http://studiopress.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Genesis Theme Framework</a><br />
While the plugin will work on the HTML5 “Pro” themes, the HTML markup only supports the older XHTML themes at this time. It is not recommended for use on the new HTML5 themes.</p>
<p>Thanks to David Decker, this plugin is translation ready.  German translation files included.</p>
<h3>Special Thanks</h3>
<p>I owe a huge debt of gratitude to all the folks at StudioPress, their themes make my life easier.</p>
