Adding a "Second" Featured Product Section

[topvip]

Hi Again All,

I'm wanting to have two sections on my homepage for products - one for "featured products" and the other for "Specials". These specials would simply need to be another manually configured list, just like featured products. I'm basically looking to duplicate the featured products section so I can have to lists of products on my home page. I was thinking I could possibly just create a category for them and then include those products onto my homepage, but I'm just not quite sure how to do that.
