no location option under featured image box

    I am trying to get the image slider activated. I have everything setup except when I get to the step where I assign a location to the post (should be under the featured image box) it’s not there. I already tried opening the settings tab and checking “location” but location isn’t even an option for me there. How do I get the location box to appear?

    The URL is http://trulychicago.com/

    I wanted to use the location piece because that’s what all of the instructions said I needed to chose a certain location for my post to get it to go on the main page image slider like on the oxygen theme example (that’s what I’m trying to get the front of my page to look like). So I had already set the main page to a static page and created a new page for it, then I was just trying to get a post to go there and because I don’t have that location option to check off I can’t “put” it there so the image slider remains non-existent. If that makes sense!

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

    Make sure that you are not reading documentation that applies to WordPress.ORG software. The only support documentation that applies to the version of the Oxygen theme that we have at WordPress.COM is found here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/oxygen/

    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:
    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 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/
