    I am working on a “newspaper” type layout for a page.
    I would like to display entries from one weblog across several content sections - just in different layouts or format.

    Example:

          A
    B | C | D

    I would like the “A” to be ‘featured item’ content (taken out of the logical display by date). B, C and D are displayed by date and rotate up as items expire. Items A-D are each wrapped individually with [exp:weblog:entries]. I have B, C and D set up as (entry offset 1), (entry offset 2) and (entry offset 3).

    I have tried using a ‘featured’ status for the “A” content so it could be displayed out of order, but I also want some of the upcoming ‘featured’ items to show as B, C and D. So sometimes I get the same item published as A and C if the ‘featured’ item is a couple of days in the future (if that makes sense). Is there any way to not have something published in 2 content areas?

    Is this something that can’t be done or just a dumb question?
