Rotating Featured Articles 

I have two questions, a bit intertwined.  
(in the comments below, I have slightly changed a business name, to keep this page from being indexed with that business's name. )

REQUIRED CHANGE, RECOMMENDATION:  
On our home page (link), instead of always showing the same Featured Business (currently M. Molding), rotate the Featured Businesses, using the articles from the "Featured Businesses" category as the bucket of articles to rotate through this spot on the home page.  Can you offer any recommendations for rotating articles in a particular spot on a particular page (in this case, our home page).

RELATED QUESTION, WHY IS M. MOLDING SHOWING ON OUR HOME PAGE?
This will sound silly, but I cannot figure out how we got M. Molding as the business to display on our front page. This actually is what we wanted, I just cannot see how we got this to work.  :-)   Here is a screen shot of the settings in that module instance.  I am hoping you might be able to look at these settings and help me understand why M. Molding is one and only article being displayed currently on our home page. 

 

As always, I am extremely grateful for any assistance you can provide.

Best regards.

Re: Rotating Featured Articles 

You should be able to do what you need, here's how :)

1. Go to the Category Edit screen for your category Featured Businesses.

2. In the Featured Articles section for this category add the various businesses you want to be "featured".

3. Save this category as approved

4. On the module settings for the module on your homepage, be sure to choose "Randomly Display an Article", that will pull an article randomly from those articles you selected in the "featured" settings for the category.

Let me know if that is enough info or if I should go into more details.
