Loving Source. But struggling to figure out how to control which post is highlighted on the home screen when Highlight is selected as the header style.

Any tips on how I might control this? Thanks!

It [looks like](https://github.com/TryGhost/Source/blob/4b347f1b0d0f83a4c023063383019bd329d3bbdb/partials/components/header-content.hbs#L17-L39) it picks up the first post in your post list - by default this will be your most recently published post.

Is it possible to control the highlighted post customizing that linked code above? Perhaps adding a number toggle or something? I’m still trying out Ghost but can’t imagine not being able to curate what’s on the homepage - like not controlling what’s on the cover of a magazine or the front page of a paper. 🤔
