 queries/

 Thanks for link! Already read the post back in May but must have forgotten
 about it ;-)

 My initial thought was:
 How can we use a custom term without having the user to change it? I'm
 sure a lot of sites already use a ''featured'' tag and an extra option for
 this would be too much.

 Possibilities:

 * ''wp-featured'' as term name and always hide it in public (only the
 'Number of posts' option left)
 * Use a custom ''featured_content'' taxonomy which would allow for
 different featured content areas or
 * name it ''wp_internal'' so it could be used by other components

 Just thinking out loud... What are your thoughts?
