How do I put content into the post carousel for the Sight theme?
-
I am using the Sight theme by Wpshower and I’m having trouble getting the post carousel to show. The forums at Wpshower say that to enable it you should click See in Slideshow while editing the post. They say it’s on the right side of the menu near the tags and category box, yet I don’t see that option anywhere. Is there some other way I could be tagging posts to appear in the post carousel?

Please consult the detailed theme description at this link and know that exact featured image dimensions are critical to their display http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sight/

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.
http://sightdemo.wordpress.com/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 -
Thanks for the help! That fixed my problem and now the post carousel is appearing. Yay!
One additional question: It appears that the posts in the carousel are showing there *instead* of the chronological list. Is there anyway I can get them to show up in both places?

No. There is no ability to have the posts display more than once on that same front page. Put your categories widget up in the sidebar and note the posts will be there in reverse chronological order.
