  Please consult the detailed theme description here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/oxygen/ There are also many threads that explain how the Oxygen theme is designed to operate.
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/oxygen

  In Oxygen you can either have a Home page that displays your posts or a static front page ie. a Showcase template. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/#setting-up-a-static-front-page
  Page templates can be set under the “Page Attributes” section on the page editor screen. For more information on Page Attributes:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/

  Showcase page template
  When you first activate Oxygen, you’ll see your posts in a traditional blog format but if you’d like to showcase your content in an online magazine-like fashion, then you can use the Showcase Page template. …

  Post thumbnails are 470 pixels wide, unless you make the post Sticky to show off in the featured slider, in which case they’re 750 pixels wide. Keep in mind: if you mark a post as Sticky but the featured image is less than 750 pixels wide, then it won’t display in the slider and will still disappear from the river of posts.

  Please be aware that you cannot crop the sticky post thumbnails.

  Sticky post thumbnails are 750 pixels wide in the featured slider
  Regular post thumbnails are 470 pixels wide

  If you don’t see the page attributes module then make sure that you don’t have it hidden in your screen options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/

  @timethief

  Now you know the problem that so many people are experiencing why don’t you tell all the posters that they’ve been mislead by the theme author’s documentation, which is written for the .org version ?

  @nadiyamorenko

  The tutorial you have been following is for a different version of the Oxygen theme – made for users who are not using wordpress.com.

  I just wasted a lot of time falling into the same trap too.

  No, those are for the .com version. What exactly about those instructions is wrong?

  When people go looking for answers they, like me, naturally end up here
  http://alienwp.com/documentation/oxygen-theme-documentation/

  which is guidance for the .org users version ONLY and should provide a warning of such.

  That page is the cause of confusion and of many of the posts on this Oxygen forum.
