This website actually qualifies as one of my tech projects, since I am not only creating my own web space, but also learning and reflecting on how to do so. So here we go.
I’m toying around with this funky new theme called “Sliding Door” – it’s terrific once you get it up and running. I still need to add images and I need to follow the following directions found on this page:

THE IMAGES ARE NOW STORED WITH THE POSTS – NOT WITH THE THEME.
ALSO THE MENU’S ARE SET UP USING HTE BUILT-IN CUSTOM MENUS
**************************************************
HOW TO SET UP THE SLIDING MENUS
**************************************************
1. Go into Appearance – Menus
2. Create a New menu and add 7 Pages or categories to it.
3. A new dropdown will appear on the left called ‘Sliding Navigation’ Select your new menu here.
**************************************************
HOW TO CHANGE THE IMAGES
**************************************************
1. Make the images using photoshop
You can download the original photo shop file from the theme homepage.
The titles of the images are changed by editing the image in photoshop.
Get any picture, crop it to 320 x 200, then write the text on it, and save it as a jpg.
Try to make the filesize small – in photoshop you do this by ‘save for web’ and choose medium or low quality – not high.
2. Go to a post and select ‘upload image’
3. Select ‘use as featured image’. This will set that image to the sliding door for that page.
Hello
I love this theme to the point where its taking all my time but without getting any results!
i followed your instructions on how to make an image and uploaded it to my page but it didn’t work!! i don’t know what i did wrong!
i have tried it with only one page (ABOUT) and added one picture saved as featured image but i don’t see it
where do i find tutorials on this?
