  I was hoping to add a featured post slider to my blog, I was using code I found on this website:
  Link here
  Is there anyway to do it? I tried copying and pasting the CSS into the custom CSS page, but it isn’t showing up. Yes I realize I am dumb with this, I just started coding in CSS, so please be kind :)

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

  If I can’t add that, is there anyway to add an animated featured post slider to my theme?

  The only themes here that have sliders are Premium themes.

  Please take note that your WordPress.com user name is linked to a blog you deleted. To link your username to your active blog > Dashboard -> Users -> Personal Settings -> then scroll down to Account Details. Then scroll down to where it says ‘Website‘ select the URL for your primary WordPress.com blog and then save changes.

  Now every time you sign into the forum we can all click on your username and your blog will be linked to it. And every time you leave a comment on a blog your username can be likewise clicked and your blog can be instantly located.

  @sirpackageboy- The reason why that code you found won’t work here is because besides the CSS and HTML, you also have to add the javascript in the header of your page, which you can’t do on WordPress.com. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#javascript

  As tt said, there are Premium themes which offer featured post sliders.
