Help!! How do i get a slide show on my home page?
-
I have the sight theme (http://sightdemo.wordpress.com/ ) I choose it because of the slide show on the home page. But i can’t seem to get this with my own page.
Can somebody explain to me how i can get this?? I tried the explanation on the support page but can’t get this type of slide show. I just can find how to add a slide show. But i want the same as on the demo with tekst on the side and when you click on it you get to the page.
Tnx!!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Have you read the theme description?
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sight/
I think you are referring to the featured post slider and it’s not a slideshow. Slideshows are embedded into post and pages. -
This is the live demo that applies to us at WordPress.com http://sightdemo.wordpress.com/
This theme has a featured post slider and that’s what you see on the demo site ie. on the demo site but I do not see it on your blog.
Featured Slider
Sight displays up to 30 of your latest sticky posts that have featured images in a prominent slider on the front page. To add a post to the slider, mark it as sticky http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts and give it a featured image.
Sight featured images
Large: 640 x 290 in the Sticky posts slider
Small: 290 x 290 thumbnails are used on the home, category, tag, archives, and search pages.Setting a Featured Image http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image
If you don’t see the Featured Image module on your Add New or Edit Post page, please make sure you’ve selected Featured Image in your Screen Options. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options -
Thank you! I have read the theme discription but think i overlooked the explanation giving. I’m going to try this.

It’s featured posts marked as sticky posts http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts that are key here and the featured images you set in them must be the exact dimensions the theme requires (Large: 640 x 290 in the Sticky posts slider). How many featured posts set as sticky posts have you published with featured images of the correct dimensions set in them?
