  I changed my theme to Opti. In the preview, It shows a picture to the top right and then three smaller pictures used as sub-headings below it. I’d like to do this, but I can find any options on the customizer that will let me do this. Is this one of those customizations I can’t make without the premium service?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Exactly which blog are you referring to?
  What is the URL?
  The one linked to your username and above is wearing Oxygen not Opti.

  The theme on this blog http://mortalsandfools.wordpress.com/ is Oxygen and as you can see here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/oxygen/ it does have the featured images feature.

  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:

  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/

  Thanks for the directions and my apologies about giving the wrong theme name.

  Unfortunately, I can’t find “Page Attributes” or even the publish editor. Are these premium features? I have clicked on every link/tool/task etc in the dashboard, but do not see those features.

  Thanks

  It’s on the Write Post (or Edit Post) page, on the right hand side, partway down.

  Therein lies the problem I have.

  It’s not there. I know it should be underneath the dialogue box for Publish, but it’s not. Do I need premium for this option?

  Thanks for the help.
