Is there a tutorial to learn to use the Oxygen theme?
-
I have never blogged before. I have placed things on there that I now cannot remove or fix or figure out how to do so. For example, I cannot get rid of the HUMOR category no matter how I try. I would like to post corresponding pictures with the links to the posts they belong to, but get a blank gray square on the front page. You have to click on the square to get to the post and then you can see the picture. I realize some of this is lack of knowledge on my part, but I’m usually good at working on things until I get them straight. I seem to be getting nowhere on this blog. I saved all my content on disk and would like to reload it with a better understanding of how the blog actually works.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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/oxygenIn 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 do not set a featured image in a post then you get the gray boxes on the front page.
If you mark all of your posts as sticky posts then know they will all appear in the post slider and none will appear under recent articles.

How do you set up the showcase page template? I see no such setting. What effect is there on the featured slider if the image is larger than 750 px wide?
