  Hello,

  Is it possible to create a carousel-based or similar featured or popular blog posts using CSS or other technique for the front page?

  Regards,

  cloudsecure.wordpress.com is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.

  What is the URL starting with http:// for the exact blog you refer to?

  You can make the front page of your site a static front page and then put a carousel into that for images, but if the theme does not have a post slider built in, you cannot add one via CSS. CSS is a styling document used by the browser to style and place existing elements of a web page. It cannot be used to add functionality.

  I might suggest looking for a theme you like that has a post slider.

  These are the only themes themes that have a featured post slider that you can use on a free hosted WordPress.com blog > http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/post-slider/

  You are welcome, and I think you will be able to find one that at least comes close to your example.
