In this video, we'll create a view with both a page and a block display of our featured content

• Select the "Teaser" sub-tab
• Move the "Featured Content Image" field above the "Body" field.
  • Label: Hidden

Let's create some content before we get into the slideshow settings so that we can see the settings in action.

Create Content

• Go to "Content => Add content => Featured Content" (node/add/featured-content)
• (I'm going to use the Devel module to generate 5 pieces of Featured Content)
• (I need to demote all content from the front page. Go to "Content" (admin/content), select all, choose "Demote selected content from front page", click "Update".)
