[Typo3] tt_news Feature Articles

[Amir Mualem]

Is there a possible way that I can mark a new article with a checkbox or 
something that would indicate that the article is a feature article? 
Therefore when published, the article will appear on special places for 
example, there will be a box in the main page just for the latest 
feature article for everyone to see.

I want this to be an exact duplication of what the following site does:
http://www.sitepoint.com/

They have a feature article on the main page.  Is this possible?
