 * Hello,
 * I am trying to make a featured slider with, let’s say, 5 posts that have a certain
   meta value (let’s say, featured_value = on). On the same page, I would like to
   list all remaining posts in the normal fashion, but I would like to exclude the
   posts that are in the slider.
 * How can I accomplish these things?
 * Thanks a lot!

 * Another question, how can I make it so if the $post->ID of a post in The Loop
   matches with **any** of the post ID’s in the featured post Query, it doesn’t 
   display?

 * What I am looking to do is similar. Consider:
 * I created a category called “featured” — all I would do to feature a post is 
   add it to that category (using WP built in UI).
 * I have found plugins for creating a Featured Post Slider, but they don’t seem
   to be compatible with WP 3.0 (Twenty Ten theme).
 * Also, the plugins I have found for creating a Featured Post Slider, all seem 
   to use custom fields for the images and the text. Since WP includes a built in
   UI for “Featured Image” and since the text is already present in the post, I 
   would like to have the text and image used from what is already there.
 * Alas, I am not prepared to give any help on the filtering of IDs that you propose
   in your second post, but I will join with you in tackling this issue.
 * Also consider: If you are not opposed to have a theme handle things for you, 
   and the theme does not hinder you in other ways, the Suffusion theme takes care
   of all this for you. I cannot use it as I am too much in need of WP 3.0’s new
   menu system, and as far as I know, Twenty Ten is the only theme capable of utilizing
   the new menu system.
