  Hi there!

  In the theme’s instructions here:

  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/itheme2/

  it says

  All you have to do to activate is have a sticky post with a featured image. Once you have one, the featured post area will appear. If you have more than 5, navigation arrows will appear on the left and right. Your visitors can then click through to see all the posts you’ve featured.

  Have you tried that? I see that you have no “Sticky” posts at the moment, so I think that’s the piece that you’re missing. Give that a try (sticky post with a Featured Image) and let me know how it goes!

  Hi I seem to be doing something wrong. I got to the image feature and started posting, then i activated the “sticky” public ….
  but I can’t see a slider forming on the top. I am confused by this template, how to use my pages; for example, when I make a post how do I dictate which page the post go to?
  thanks for your help

  Hi there!

  In your Reading settings (https://quibblesandquark.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php) I noticed that you chose a Static Page for the front page of your site. If you use that, the Slider won’t work. However, if you switch to “Your latest posts”, the slider should work.

  Of course, if you change that option, then your front page will display your latest posts, and not the current page that you are displaying now. I would recommend creating a Sticky post without a Featured Image, and include the content from the “Quibbles and Clark” page: https://quibblesandquark.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=2&action=edit

  That way, the information you have there (the “introduction” to your site) will always appear at the top of your site, but won’t be in the slider at the top.

  Does that help any? Try that and let me know how it goes.

  Hello
  thanks for your help. Now I need to insert a cartoon that I forgot. How do you insert. If you look on my site i missed to place a cartoon between #5 and #6. Also can I reverse the sticky post?
  thanks!Kelly

  Hi! Try creating a new Sticky Post with a Featured Image for the one that you forgot, but change it’s published date to one that’s between #5 and #6; that might do the trick.

  I want to thank you! That helped a lot!
  Is there no way to reverse the way the scroll goes?

  Glad that helped!

  What do you mean by reverse the way it goes, exactly? You’d like to have the “newest (higher-numbered) cartoons last? If so, I imagine that changing the “published dates” will do the trick.
