   Hi. Your Blue Steel theme is sensational. I was thinking it might be perfect for my new site but I noticed in the demo that the slider starts on the second post and goes to the third post, then stops. Is it supposed to do that?

   Find the slider controls at blue_steel/inc/feature.php, line 9
   where you can set the slides running, showing and auto rotating.

   Thank you for responding to my question.

   I downloaded and unzipped the theme. Looking at "blue_steel/inc/feature.php", I found (starting at line 3):

   <script type="text/javascript">
featuredcontentglider.init({
gliderid: "glidercontent",
contentclass: "glidecontent",
togglerid: "togglebox",
remotecontent: "",
selected: 1,
persiststate: true,
speed: 1000,
direction: "downup",
autorotate: true,
autorotateconfig: [12000, 1] //if auto rotate enabled, set [milliseconds_btw_rotations, cycles_before_stopping]
})
</script>

   I can't recognize a slider control for the number of posts to slide through.

   Try to play with selected: 1, and change the numbers to 2 or 3 and more.

   Hi, Milo. I did try to make changes for selected. But that indicates the post to start the glider at. According to Dynamic Content's page for their [dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/featuredcontentglider.htm]Featured Content Glider[/url]:

   <script type="text/javascript">
featuredcontentglider.init({
gliderid: "glidercontent", //ID of main glider container
contentclass: "glidecontent", //Shared CSS class name of each glider content
togglerid: "togglebox", //ID of toggler container
remotecontent: "", //Get gliding contents from external file on server? "filename" or "" to disable
selected: 0, //Default selected content index (0=1st)
persiststate: false, //Remember last content shown within browser session (true/false)?
speed: 1000, //Glide animation duration (in milliseconds)
direction: "downup", //set direction of glide: "updown", "downup", "leftright", or "rightleft"
autorotate: true, //Auto rotate contents (true/false)?
autorotateconfig: [6000, 0] // if auto rotate enabled, set [milliseconds_btw_rotations, cycles_before_stopping]; 0=perpetual 1000ms=1sec
})
</script>

   In the configuration, there is no statement for the number of posts to rotate through.

   Any thoughts?

   The answer is in your pasted code:
   selected: 0, //Default selected content index (0=1st)
   so selected = 0 will load first post

   while the number of posts are driven through the slider loop
   <?php query_posts('showposts=8&offset=3'); ?>
   change number of showposts=8
   and set offset=3 to 0
   so you new code would be this
   <?php query_posts('showposts=6'); ?>
   for 6 posts

   All file are located in feature php
   and the theme options, set the options sic categories first.
