im trying to add some custom featured posts to my blog home page "picture +half the article" . when writing my posts, i go to the bottom where it says "Custom Fields"

For the "Key" i enter "left feature" there is also top ,right and other featured spots on my home page

and for the Value i enter the url where my picture is saved at "http://mysite.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/larry-the-cable-guy.png"

Then i click "Add Custom Field" button .

The picture is where i want it to be " left feature " with the article i posted. but for some reason the article saves as top ,right and left feature post on my home page .and when i try to add a new custom field like "top feature". "top feature" gets saved "pic + article "but the "left feature "is deleted .sorry if this makes no sense i tried to explain it the best i could . can some one please shine some light on this problem. here is the site dailycomedycentral.com
 


That really didn't make sense to me but without knowing what theme....
Its gotta be a css problem I'm guessing, but can't say for sure without seeing the code/theme.
 
sorry , i dont know how to explain it .i nothing about wordpress or coding php

Just a quick thought.

From your code..
<!--This section is currently pulling category ID #1, and can be switched by changing the cat=1 to show whatever category ID you would like in this area.-->

Maybe the post you're posting has a different category ID and that's why it's not showing?
 
i just tried changing the category ID to my new ones like p=56 which is my david spade post . but nothing happens
