This may sound silly - Articles on the front page ?

Added a feature request here: Featured Items View

The only workaround I can think of for now is to create a "featured" category and link the articles/items to that category too.
Then display the featured category as the frontpage.

I did this, but the downside is that you get wrong links.

For example;
This article:
mysite.com/category/item/article.html

Looks like this when published on frontpage through a "Featured" category.
mysite.com/home/item/article.html

Not a good thing
