  Please consult the detailed theme description at this link and know that exact featured image dimensions are critical to their display 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 but I do not see it on your blog.

  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.

  Setting a Featured Image http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image
  If you don’t see the Featured Image module on your Add New or Edit Post page, please make sure you’ve selected Featured Image in your Screen Options. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options

  There is no ability to have the posts display more than once on that same front page.
