Article Error wont go away!!!!

[Robert4524]

What is your url? http://www.therydings.info
What error message do you get? An error has occurred!  The article isn't active, hasn't been approved yet, or simply does not exist.
*copy that message here*
What version of SMF? latest
What version of TP? latest
Which themes are used? standard default
Do you have other Mods installed? no
Do you use another CMS? (Joomla or Mambo?) no
If yes, which one?
Is this a test site? no

My site was working just fine until I decided to change the center block.  The block was originally an article and I decided to change the page to have 3 html blocks on the front page.  It worked just fine initially but now gives me an error as you can see on the site.  I have tried everything I can think of: Added a test article, added an article category, deleted everything, deleted the demo articles , deleted the demo article block (dont need anyway), made sure everything was active, to no avail!!!

HELP!!!!   <----Very frustrated!!!!!

Thanks

Go to Manage articles and make sure that all of your articles have a green circle next to then and not a red one.

I know it sounds obvious but I've made that mistake myself before.

ok well I think I fixed it but not sure how.

Seemed to have something to do with toggling the "set as featured" switch in the article manager.  The article was green (active).  I just toggled the featured not featured switch and now the error went away.

Thats because the article manager wants to have atleast one article set as featured

And thank you for following the posting guide, thats not every day we see a good first post question here.

WELL DONE !!
