Need Help Today Figuring out how to make Theme Function Work

    I have a new theme on my blog that I really love but I can't figure out how to make the Featured Posts show up. I don't know anything about CSS, and I know better to try and fix this without the right knowledge, but on the other hand it looks like a simple fix I am just missing.

    I contacted the creator of the theme twice but have gotten no response. I am hoping one of you smart guys or gals can show me how to fix this today. It looks unprofessional for me to have that big space blank so I want to fix it asap.

    Thanks in advance for your input.

    This is not CSS or HTML related.

    Are you using WordPress? Some more informations would be nice!

    There is nothing to show in your Featured Post stuff... is it hard coded into the theme or is there any "setup" in WP admin?

    These are the options I have in the editor section of the theme. I have tried to find a place in the fn section, in the header, and in the main index template and I see where the Featured Post is mentioned, I even tried adding the URL to a post, but messed things up and quickly undid it. I am out of my element here. There is no easy step by step instruction to doing this, you'd think the designer would answer me, I left a comment on his blog and sent him an email. Of course, this is a free theme so I guess he figures I am on my own.

    That was not was I was asking for...

    Is there any "plugin" that must be installed for the carousel?

    I just checked out the theme and it doesn't list a plugin, it just says that the files are located in: theme/tweetsheep
