  Hi,
  I changed my theme this morning to Modularity Lite because based on the demo (http://modularitylitedemo.wordpress.com/) it seemed to be able to accommodate my taller banner at 950×425 pixels. This is, in fact, the size of the grasshopper picture in that demo. When I applied it, I turned on the slideshow and removed the banner, thinking that would replace the banner (950×200 will not work for my purposes), but I don’t know how to pick a photo to appear in the slideshow. Thanks in advance for your help.

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

  Well, I’ve played around a bit and changed back to Neo-Sapien, because it seems the slideshow picture as inserted from a post can’t be static. I tried setting the post date back so that it wouldn’t appear as my first post, and the image disappeared. Pity! I hope another good theme comes out soon that can accommodate my taller banner option.

  Create a 950px wide image (height can be as much as you like), upload it via Media > Add New, copy its URL. Then go to Appearance > Theme Options and put your image in the “Welcome Message Content” box this way:
  <img style="margin-left:-.75em;" src="IMAGE URL HERE" />

  I’m having the same problem, your solution is all well and good panghiotisadam. But for the life of me, I cannot work out how to get my recently posted images to appear as a slideshow! Help here would be hugely appreciated!

  Hi, I love the new Modularity Lite slideshow but I have experienced a problem since I changed the background tiled image to my own and since the change, the slideshow no longer works but only the current image is displayed. I have tried everything from changing arrangements of widgets, etc. and posted another new post to no avail.
  Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  @studentquarterly Please share how you figured it out? Thanks.

  I have a number of images attached in a post but it’s coming up as only 1 fixed image from that post and not a slideshow.

  @reformedwomen: Change the number of posts per page (Settings > Reading).

  @misouho: You haven’t activated the slideshow (Appearance > Theme Options).
