Can't customize site

    Hello –
    I’m new to WP, and I just opened up a blog. I found a theme that I loved (Modularity Light), tried to customize it and failed. In particular, the gallery feature did not work, but in general whatever I did – it did not look like the Theme Demo page. I thought maybe there was a problem with the theme, so I found another one. I replaced my blog theme to AutoFocus – and again, could not get my blog to look like the demo page at all.

    I read all of the documentation and your forums and support pages. Still did not get it. Are these customize options only for upgraded blogs? If you’re a free WP user, can you not customize any of the themes at all? And If you can customize them – can you please take me step by step to show me how? All the forums posts that I saw lead to the theme info and demo page. This doesn’t help me at all. How do I actually customize these themes?

    This is very frustrating. Not at all the easy happy 123 done thing I was expecting… Help, please!!!!

    Thanks
    Shivi

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Modularity Lite – detailed theme description
    http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/modularity-lite/

    The standout feature of Modularity Lite is its beautiful home page slideshow. Each photo in the slideshow will be a whopping 950 pixels by 425 pixels. That’s huge! To get it working, first click Yes! I’d like to enable the optional home page slideshow in Appearance → Theme Options from your dashboard and click Save Options. Next make sure some of your recent posts have really large images–at least 950 pixels by 425 pixels. It’s the first image in your post that will be used for the slideshow image. The number of slideshow images will match the number of blog posts showing on your home page. You can change that number from your WordPress.com dashboard at Settings → Reading.

    And that’s it! Once you’ve started adding large images to your recent posts, the Modularity Lite theme will take care of the rest!
