  Using “oxygen”, why can’t I get the featured slider to work? I’ve made a showcase template page, even set it as my static homepage, but still no featured slider- what am I doing wrong? I have now returned my blog to its original settings just for my visitors.

  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. …

  Sticky post thumbnails are 750 pixels wide in the featured slider
  Regular post thumbnails are 450 pixels wide

  I am using Oxygen and want to achieve something similar to http://acrestosea.com/, where home page has both a slideshow of featured images AND latest blog posts showing up below that. But if I create static showcase page as home page, how can I include the feed of latest blog posts? I want both, not either/or, but WordPress admin seems to force a choice between static and latest blog posts. Any ideas how to do this?
  Thanks for your help.
