  I am using the Oxygen them and can not get the recent articles section or more articles section to display my posts. I have looked for a “Location” button in the post section to choose where I want it to publish and seem to not have this location function.

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

  Hi there,
  In total how many posts have you published?
  Did you make everyone of the published posts a featured post and put it in the post slider?
  If you did that then what would be left for the software to display where you indicate?

  Please consult the detailed theme description here http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/oxygen/ There are also many threads that explain how the Oxygen theme is designed to operate.
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/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.
  Also be aware If you mark all of your posts as sticky posts then they will all appear in the post slider and none will appear under recent articles.

  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/
