Please add an on/off toggle for featured posts in the blog dashboard, so that Wix users don't have to edit the blog post every time we want to change a blog post to featured/not featured. This toggle could be added as an option next to or within the existing drop down that currently has 'view post, share post, duplicate post,' etc - for each post. Additional Insight: The 'featured post' function is used frequently for custom feeds. The nature of my website requires that I feature posts that were originally created months, sometimes years ago (depending on the content). Custom feeds display featured posts in chronological order. Because I only want three to four featured blog posts displaying on my home page's custom feed, and I'm sometimes featuring posts from months ago, Wix's existing options require that I change enough recent posts to 'not featured' and change those past posts to 'featured' so that the posts I want to feature are displayed on the custom feed. Currently, there is no ability to toggle the featured post option on and off in the the blog dashboard - so every time I want to change this, I must go to the dashboard, find the post, click edit, and go into the SEO options for the post page and change it there. Sometimes, this will also cause the post to display an 'updated' date on the article - which I don't always want, as I am not updating the content. (I say sometimes because I have done this process often and whether the blog post displays an 'updated' date is inconsistent.) This is time consuming and not the most efficient approach to featured posts. Please add a 'featured post' toggle on the blog dashboard. Thank you in advance.

Hi @Because_Blogs,
Thank you for your detailed post and reasoning behind the need. We can't agree more on the relevance of the feature and we're adding your request to the Wishlist.
Regarding inconsistency in 'updated' appearance - we'll double check.
That's a great feedback. If you have more comments on the experience with the blog, please, happy to hear and take into consideration.
