  Hi!
  Now i was wondering how to get a slideshow below my header on the frontpage?

  I have seen wordpress.com advertise with it on their “awesome blogs using Oxygen theme”

  Im using the same theme, and i bought the custom design upgrade, but I cant seem to find out how to make a slideshow below the header on my site on the frontpage but not in in a post/site.

  My blog is Fysiotraening.net

  Other sites with my theme are using the slideshow below the header, but I cant??

  Here are some examples of sites with oxygen theme (same theme as mine).

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

  In Oxygen you must post featured images if the exact required dimensions or all you get is the gray boxes you have now.

  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. …

  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.

  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/
