There is a Number of Category's that Posts need adding to,

So if you need more give me a shout and ill Add them.

To Assign a Post to this feature, you need to ensure it is added to the Featured Slider Category.
Then Adding a Post there is a Number of Images that need adding per Post that show up for different things.
On the post on the bottom right hand side you will see:

THIS IMAGE IS THE SMALL THUMBNAIL YOU SEE ON THE HOMEPAGE ON ALIGNED TO THE LEFT
To Add Images for the Featured Slider. You need to add two images to the thumbnail Section on the Post:
thumbnail = Small Image on the Left
featured_thumbnail = Large Image
The wording cannot be changed as i have added code to Look for some Custom rules i have setup to make everyones life easier,
Instead of emending tags and html code in for it to work:

To make this easily controlled Each bay is assigned to its own Category:

Latest Previews

When doing Reviews
You have a feature in the Post called: Standard Post Review
Select You number Between 1 and 5 for your rating,
And Select your Number Between 1 and 10 for out of how Many.
So for an example, 5 and 5 would be Every Star

The Meta TAGS are out filled out, but please do go in and add and remove some, as its not always that good.
