The Articles plugin allows you to display a list of posts you wish to feature/highlight.

== Installation ==

1. Download the plugin archive and expand it (you've likely already done this).
2. Put the 'articles.php' file into your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
3. Go to the Plugins page in your WordPress Administration area and click 'Activate' for Articles.
4. Go to Options > Articles to configure your Articles settings.

== Choosing Articles ==

To add post to your Articles list, simply add a custom field (below the big text field on the post/page edit form) to the post:

Key: article
Value: 1

== Showing the Articles List ==

There are two methods for showing the articles list.

= Token Method =

The token method is the easier way to show your articles list, and is enabled by default. To show your articles list, simply add the following to a page or post:

`###articles###`

and your articles list will appear in this place in the page/post.

= Template Tag Method =

You can always add a template tag to your theme (in a page template perhaps) to show your articles list:

`<?php aka_show_articles(); ?>`

== Known Issues ==

= Token Processing Time =

Using the token method to show your Articles list will add *very* minor additional processing to each post display on your site.
