  I tried changing my main page using the oxygen theme to show the slide show as the first page. It works fine on my mobile phone but not on the pc, there it only shows the blogs page and not the show case although the link is visible. I am afraid i am not a computer person so I am probably doing something wrong
  Blog url: http://lakefieldnews.wordpress.com/

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

  I’m on a PC and using Firefox 14.0.1. I do not see a post slider on the ftont page of your blog. I see a huge header image only.

  Have you gone to the Themes Showcase to read the Oxygen Theme Description there http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/oxygen/ and checked out the Live demo site here? http://oxygendemo.wordpress.com/

  In Oxygen you can either have a Home page that displays your posts or a static front page ie. a Showcase template. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/#setting-up-a-static-front-page

  Showcase page template
  When you first activate Oxygen, you’ll see your posts in a traditional blog format but if you’d like to showcase your content in an online magazine-like fashion, then you can use the Showcase Page template. …

  Sticky post thumbnails are 750 pixels wide in the featured slider
  Regular post thumbnails are 450 pixels wide
