Featured Images Slider – Forever theme
-
I am trying to set up the featured images slider for the ‘Forever’ theme. I realize that I need to enable “stick posts”. I simply want to have a few images (I have the correct dimensions) on the home page. There is no option for “home” to add featured images to. I have been reading the theme descriptions, forums, and using trial and error. Can someone please provide specific step by step instructions? This seems like such a simple task and yet I can’t figure it out.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Have you carefully consulted your theme description here?

Photos to the home page. -
The is the current Home page of your blog. http://thewheelhouseproject.wordpress.com/
Note the “nothing found” error message.
By default the front page of your blog displays all posts. The 404 (page not found) error message on the front page of the blog appeared because the Admin of the blog deleted the placeholder Hello World post. http://en.support.wordpress.com/not-found/ As soon as you publish a post, not a page it will disappear. Read the differences between Pages and Posts.

There is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts (not pages) http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ and we cannot post to more than that one page. The front page of the blog by default will display your posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. If you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts.
To do that create two pages > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
