Fashion Peal is a free theme that you can download from www.elegantwpthemes.com. The original theme has give you this feature :

• Google Adsense Friendly (all you need is just put your PUB-ID on the options page)
• Built in Auto Featured content gallery, no need to install any other plugins
• Easy to operate when you want to choose which category that should show

The original Fashion Peal theme :
For choosing the featured content area, Featured news area, and most popular content area, you should add a special custom field here. And of course, all image that will be shown here (for thumbnail and sliding image) must be uploaded manually into your own server.

What I offer here :

• Thumbnail will show automatically, as long as your post have image inside it. If there is no image at your post, the default image will shown
• Image for sliding content (top left area) also shown automatically
• If your post contain a youtube embedded script, and you want to show the youtube thumbnail, you must install “youtube thumbnailer” plugins first, then the thumbnail will shown automatically too
• I have add a new selections on the “Option Page”, so you can choose which category that you want to show for the Featured News area. In this case, i have make this area to show random post for your specified category. No need to add is_featured or other annoying customfields
