  I’m really having trouble setting up the slider on my blog. Am I supposed to make my posts pages? I have one page and the rest posts. Please help! I’ve read all the oxygen info and seen the demo but don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Thank you.

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

  Oxygen Theme Description http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/oxygen Live demo site http://oxygendemo.wordpress.com/

  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

  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.

  If you failed to upload and set a featured image in each post and until you do upload one into each one the gray box will be there.

  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/

  I must be doing something wrong, because I can’t figure any of this out. I’m trying to get the slider working with no luck.

  I’ve set a featured image. I believe they’re the right size. I’ve assigned the posts to be “sticky.”

  Why do the suggestions to make a static page keep appearing on every form I look?

  I can’t find “Showcase Page Template” anywhere.
