  I am using the Sight template and the photo slider for the blog posts is not working. I have three posts with featured photos, they are marked sticky and published, but they are not displaying on the main page. Help!

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

  Have you consulted the theme description?
  The size of the featured images is critical to display.
  Are the images the correct size specified by the theme?

  Theme description: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sight/
  This theme has a featured post slider and that’s what you see on the demo site ie. on the demo site no header image is being displayed.

  Featured Slider
  Sight displays up to 30 of your latest sticky posts that have featured images in a prominent slider on the front page. To add a post to the slider, mark it as sticky http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts and give it a featured image.
  Sight featured images
  Large: 640 x 290 in the Sticky posts slider
  Small: 290 x 290 thumbnails are used on the home, category, tag, archives, and search pages.

  Hey,
  I got the same problem with my blog:
  http://sophiamuender.wordpress.com/
  I would like to use the photo slider, but how can I activate it?
  Do I need to pay anything or need to upgrade?
  Best,
  Sophia
