  Hi folks, I’ve created the above blog and done the following as instructed:

  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.

  The Showcase Page template offers a featured slider for Sticky Posts. To use the template, create or edit a page, and assign it to the Showcase Page template from the Page Attributes module. If you’d like use the Showcase Page template on your front page, go to Settings → Reading and set the Front page option to Static Page. Select the page you just assigned the Showcase Page template to as your front page and then choose another page to serve as your blog page

  But the posts still do not present as sliding posts … I’ve checked various other posts but nothing has helped.

  HELP !!

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

  What is the significance of sticky posts with the post slider?
  Is there a set width of the featured image posts that would stop it being in the post slider?

  I think I have done everything instrcuted by wordpress however it’s not working ..

  Yes the featured image must be 750 pixels wide to appear in the showcase…

  And the post has to be sticky

  Thanks, just realised the image has to be 750 before it works.

  Not very clear in the instructions !

  At least 750 pixels wide, can be bigger
