I posted another question here:

http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/chateau-theme-featured-post-with-read-previous-articles-front-page?replies=1#post-652863

It's regarding the feature of one single post on the front page with a "Read Previous Articles" section at the bottom versus a scroll through of the last few posts. For some reason I've lost that ability (and can't figure out how to set it back). Thanks for any help you can offer.

The answer is "no" because what those previous articles are the posts displayed in reverse chronological order. In other words, the front page is the dynamic running page for posts.

You will need to find another way to "highlight" past posts.

I had no idea the excerpt was an option. This is an awesome function.

Another question: Is there a way to pick which posts show up in the "read previous articles", rather than be restricted to only the last consecutive posts? For example, I would like to highlight a few of my favorites from the past in that section.

But again, the excerpt is very, very useful.

Tess has described what I did. I composed a post and inserted a thumbnail image at the beginning of the post. Then I copied the code for the thumbnail image and the text I wanted to use as a teaser. Then I pasted both into the excerpt box below the editor box and published the post. As the excerpt box is "live" on the Chateau theme doing this overrode the text only automatic display provided by the theme.

My blog is a free hosted WordPress.COM blog being domain mapped by WordPress.com. It's wearing the WordPress.com version of the Chateau theme and I do not have a custom design upgrade.

Themes by the same name like Chateau are coded differently so they run on either WordPress.COM software or WordPress.ORG software. There are some variations in the features ie. they are not identical. We cannot help you with your self hosted WordPress.ORG install here. You must post to http://wordpress.ORG/support/ for help with the version of the theme you have on your self hosted WordPress.ORG install.

You can compose your excerpt in the visual editor, then switch to the html editor, copy the code, then paste it into the excerpt module.
