  I can’t find any way to make my site look like the demo I purchased. Theme: Organization. I want it to have the slide show home page images with text on the image (just like the demo) and also I want 3 boxes/areas for text under the main image (just like th demo). There doesn’t seem to be a obvious way to get that to happen. http://instituteforintrapreneurship.com
  Note – I have been a wordpress user for 2-3 years with my other site. Thanks

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

  Hi there – You’ve set up the Home page with the homepage template. Awesome! Next, you need to go to Settings->Reading here:
  https://intrapreneurshipinstitute.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

  There, choose ‘a static page’ for the front page option and select Home from the dropdown menu.

  You can create a “Blog” page in the same way and choose it for your Posts page in Settings->Reading.

  Next, for anything to show up on the blog, you need to add some posts:
  https://intrapreneurshipinstitute.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit.php

  You’ll want to set a large featured image for each post:
  Featured Images

  You’ll also want to tag each post with a specific tag (whatever tag you want; for example, ‘featured’) to set as the tag for posts pulled into the featured content area.

  Once you’ve gotten that far, it will be clearer to you, and you can continue following the remaining instructions here:

  If you still have trouble, let me know which step you’re getting stuck on, and what happens when you try to follow it!
