@petelandvt Let's have a convo on how to tackle this one. I think we can brainstorm a good solution.

Sure, @rjsteinert - just let me know when you'd like to chat... I'm flexible next week.

I would suggest creating a new View Block that pulls in the latest Drupal Blog entry (which actually points to an outside URL) and placing that Block into the existing Farm Hack Front Page Mission and Blog Block (http://farmhack.org/admin/structure/block/manage/boxes/farm_hack_hello/configure). Place the block using a token enabled by the insert_block module. Lastly, theme up that block so it looks nice.

Ended up taking somewhat different approach that will accommodate more than just blog posts, as Dorn and I discussed. Any content of type "Home Page Feature" that is published will now display in the carousel in the upper-right area of the front page.
