Incorrect download files??

I just downloaded the file from stage 7 on building a custom theme from scratch and seems the download files are different from what Zac is editing in the videos?

Mainly when looking at the front-page.php file theres no section about adding the featured post/project?

or am i completely missing something

I got further along in this, and I think I'm missing the part about how to hook up the templates to their respective pages. My blog page does not display the posts, but the front page does. I rewatched the videos, and no luck yet. It certainly seems like something's missing.

Hi Zac Gordon,

Here is the link:

http://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-build-a-wordpress-theme/launching-a-wordpress-site/wordpress-migration-overview

First thing i noticed is the Front-page.php isnt up to date with the previous videos?

Maybe im wrong though!
