Roger - you've done an amazing job with BigFeature, thank you.
I'm using bfthumbs on my frontpage. I placed an h5 tag right above the bfthumbs shortcode with the text "from the blog" to help visitors realize the the thumbnails represent recent posts from the blog.
In addition, I'm using the meta = "true" parameter in the shortcode to display the date and comments.
Some questions:
1.) How can I specify the date format in the bfthumbs meta parameter (the default doesn't match what I'm using site-wide)
2.) Display author's name in the meta?
3.) Style the meta information the same as how it appears on the blog/archive/search for thumbnail posts (border on top and bottom)?
I realize that there are some challenges incorporating all these variations into the shortcode... so, can you point me to a relevant chunk of php code that I could insert into my frontpage (or default page template) to achieve these results in lieu of the shortcode?
What I'd like to be able to display is:
MMM DD, YYYY | BY AUTHOR
or
MMM DD, YYYY | BY AUTHOR | X COMMENTS
or
MMM DD, YYYY | X COMMENTS
Thanks!
