 As mentioned earlier, this is just a simple featured posts management plugin that adds the post meta data as featured=yes for the particular post marked as featured.
+= Does This Support Custom Post Type? =
+Yes, it does. To display featured post of any Custom Post Type pass the arguement `post_type=YOUR_POST_TYPE` along with `featured=yes`. For example, if I have custom post type "portfolio" and I want to show featured posts in post type "portfolio' (so called featured portfolio), then I would do, `query_posts('post_type=portfolio&featured=yes')` before the `have_posts()` loop.
+= Does it work with WP_Query() class? =
+Yes, absolutely, it does. you can pass it as string type arguement like `$query=new WP_Query('post_type=portfolio&featured=yes&posts_per_page=1')` or even in array type arguement like `$query=new WP_Query(array('post_type'=>'portfolio','featured'=>'yes'));` then use how the regular WP_Query is used.
+= How Does it work exactly? =
+This plugin actually hooks over `pre_get_posts` filter and make the WP_Query class to only fetch posts/entries which are marked featured whenever featured=yes query var is passed as query arguement(Hope that makes sense).
