# Display featured Posts on Page and adhere to ‘the more’

 * I am trying to figure out how to have a series of featured posts that would appear
   on a static page on my WP blog.
 * I have found a number of plugins that will enable me to list the post title of
   posts from a particular category (e.g. Catlist plugins). However, what I want
   is the capacity to include the intro paragraph (everything before the “read more”
   break) to be included.
 * Any suggestions on doing this?
 * Thank you.

 * Try this:
 *     ```
       <?php
          $args=array(
          'cat'=>1,
          'showposts'=>10,
          'caller_get_posts'=>1
          );
       $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
       if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
       while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
       <p><small><?php the_time('m.d.y') ?></small> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
   
       <?php
       global $more;
       $more=0;
       the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;');
       <?php
       endwhile;
       }
       ```

 * Where should I place this? (What file?)

 * It could be your theme’s index.php or it could be a Page Template.
 * With the help of the [Template Hierarchy](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy)
   article, determine what [Template](http://codex.wordpress.org/Templates) is ‘
   in force’ where you want to display that featured post info.
 * Also, if you use the technique described in the FAQ, [How can I have a static front page and posts display on a page called Blog?](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Working_with_WordPress#How_can_I_have_a_static_front_page_and_posts_display_on_a_page_called_Blog.3F),
   you would put that code in the myfront.php template described in that FAQ.
