Size of Featured Images
-
In trying out themes Gateway or Sela, I am trying to do two things: create a large featured image as shown on the demos, and making the home page a static page. I can’t find any info that tells me the correct size for a featured image (that is as large as the demos). Neither can I find any page attributes that allow me to make the home page into a static page. I can find no drop down box with this feature. Can you help me?

Each theme has a detailed theme description page with set-up instructions and a live demo site.
Gateway

https://selademo.wordpress.com/Each theme is unique. Each theme that has featured images has specific dimensions for featured images in that theme and if you do not respect them then no featured image will display.

If you cannot locate the page attributes box https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/page-attributes/ then go to the top right-hand corner of the page and click screen options https://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ and include the missing module. https://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

and making the home page a static page.
By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.
There must be a page for all posts published in the blog to display on. However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts.
To do that create two pages first http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.

Oh no. You have linked your username to a URL that does not exist.

The address life-is-sweet.wordpress.com cannot be registered. Site names can only contain lowercase letters (a-z) and numbers. But you can sign up and choose another one.
