 * When I updated to the latest version of Magazine Basic, posts from the category
   featured in MB-FeaturedPost started also appearing in the center column, and 
   since I only use a few categories, it looks really stupid to have so many posts
   duplicated. How can I remove the featured category from the center column?

 * The featured post seems to be the latest post in that category, so if the original
   still hasn’t scrolled off the front page, then it will appear in both the sidebar
   and the column. You can hide the featured post from the front page sidebar using
   the visibility settings.
 * I would love to be able to select a different or random featured post, as the
   latest post in category is not necessarily the one I want to feature. Does anyone
   know if this can be done?
 * EDIT: I just found a simple way to do this by creating a special “featured” subcategory
   and adding that category to the post I want to feature. This gives me manual 
   control over the featured post.
