    A blogging friend of mine uses the superhero theme, and under the title header, she has an image slide that extends the width of the screen (as is shown on the theme’s image). Each pic has the title of the post it corresponds with, and if you click on the pic it will take you to the post. How did she do it??

    I’m not very good at technology, so step by step instructions would be great. Also, I’m using WordPress on my own domain.

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

    The blog you have linked to your username is not wearing Superhero. What follows applies only to the free hosted WordPress.COM version of that theme.

    Please consult the theme description here. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/superhero/

    Superhero features a Custom Header that can be set under Appearance → Header. However, many bloggers assume the featured Featured Content Section at the top is the header when it is not. You are confused. Superhero does not have a full width header image. The full width images are in the featured post slider.

    Superhero header > Dashboard > Appearance > Header
    Suggested width for the header image is 480 pixels. Suggested height is 150 pixels. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/superhero/

    If you want to have featured images in posts appearing in the featured post slider across the top of the blog then you have to set featured images. Have you read the theme description at “Featured Content Section” here? http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/superhero/

    You need to Create a post with a featured image that’s at least 960px wide, set it as a featured image and give the featured post the tag you declared under Settings → Reading → Featured Content.

    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. 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.
