Uh, sure.  But it takes some coding.  The way the front page works is that
it grabs the first 25 (or whatever) stories from the db, so as you load
new ones into phpSlash, the query on the front page automagically moves
them down one.

So in order to have several stories on the front page appear indefinately
you'd need to get their id's , add queiries from them in the index.php3 
file and and call the functions that crate stories with that data you
queried.  Kind of a pain, but not a big one

YES!!!!  Use the current CVS from cvs.phpslash.sourceforge.net (check out
module phpslash-ft, login as anonymous / no password)
