  The only theme we have with a front page slideshow is Modularity Lite. Aside form it we have many themes with front page featured post sliders and they are NOT the same as slideshows at all. For the 65 Post Slider WordPress.com Themes that display what appears to be a large slideshow at the top of your front page to highlight your recent posts or images click this link http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/post-slider/

  For your own theme here’s the link to the detailed theme description page http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/hemingway-rewritten/

  WordPress.com sells custom design upgrades. They allow us to “preview” change that do not actually display on the blog unless we purchase the upgrade.

  If you have not purchased the custom design upgrade note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/

  You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
  Appearance > Header
  Appearance > Background
  Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
  Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
  Site Title and Tagline > Settings > General

  If you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.

  To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.

  What does your theme allow? Go to http://creativemediacompany.wordpress.com/
  Featured Images are 676 wide by unlimited height on Sticky posts, and 1280 by 416 as header images on single posts and pages.

  Will do. I am still new to this. I’m trying the products. If everything goes on well I will purchase a domain name and upgrades. BTW you are very prompt and accurate on info. Are you an employee from WordPress?
