Its 3 articles set to show on frontpage, the number of articles is set to 3...and the left one is set as featured, with layout C for the frontpage settings. Featured article has also no borders or title displayed. And finally the frontpage shows "articles only".

Thats it. No html for the layout actually.
There is the style and the basic function how to do it but do you think you can give me the entire code you're using on your homepage and i can edit and convert it to make it be my websites look and feel? ???

Brian, I prefer that you don't copy something. Take the idea and run with it, but don't mimic others peoples work to a "T". Take the inspiration from it and add your own ideas to it. If you really want the code for it "right click view source".

Well, I knew that in the first place but i wanted to see if i can have permission to do so :) Since it was rejected I am fine with that and will make something other ;)

Thanks bloc, that's exactly the explanation I wanted :)

I know many like some more info on how to use the system as it currently stands, therefore I am working on setting up examples of working sites - with detailed explanations on each item, so you can duplicate it on your own site.

This would be great, Bloc.  I've been playing with TP for a while now, and am starting to get used to it, but I see some great things being done and have no idea really how.  I've spent the last couple of months doing the trial and error thing, and have learned a lot from it, but I'd really like to see example stuff.  Some settings I change with no apparent effect on the site and don't know why, some things just don't work the way I would expect (because I'm not sure what they do), and some things I have no clue about.

The limited docs help some, but better descriptions and examples would go a long way to helping more people get going more quickly.  TP is a great portal system, but somewhat confusing for new people to get started with.  I'm looking forward to the examples mentioned above, and thanks...
