This is the one that doesn't work:
http://becreativewithfashion.wordpress.com/2013/05/16/this-is-me/

I got 1 picture with as a post slider but can't seem to get another picture as a post slider. Any ideas??

Is the explanation available in Dutch?

This theme has a featured post slider and that's what you see on the demo site ie. on the demo site but I do not see it on your blog.

Featured Slider
Sight displays up to 30 of your latest sticky posts that have featured images in a prominent slider on the front page. To add a post to the slider, mark it as sticky http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts and give it a featured image.
Sight featured images
Large: 640 x 290 in the Sticky posts slider
Small: 290 x 290 thumbnails are used on the home, category, tag, archives, and search pages.

Setting a Featured Image http://en.support.wordpress.com/featured-images/#setting-a-featured-image
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. http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options

Can somebody explain to me how i can get this?? I tried the explanation on the support page but can't get this type of slide show. I just can find how to add a slide show. But i want the same as on the demo with tekst on the side and when you click on it you get to the page.

Tnx\!!

Does the Custom Design upgrade let me edit HTML?
No. The Custom Design upgrade allows you to edit fonts and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup, PHP code, or content. If you require this functionality, please consider moving your blog to a web host that supports theme code modifications, suitable hosts can be found here. Read more about why here. You can choose to apply your custom fonts or custom stylesheet to any of the themes available on WordPress.com. Some themes, like the plain but versatile Sandbox and Toolbox, are blank canvases waiting for your custom fonts, CSS and images. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

thank you!!!!

No worries, glad I could help.

Anyhow the website is only a temporary thing and I'm hoping we'll be able to use it for communication on a private project, which is why it's set to private.

Thanks for your help.
I'll probably stick with wp.com then.

Firstly, the new post button on your admin bar, only shows up to you, because you are able to post things to the site. Other regular users, who you set up to view the site, will not have this. And when I had a quick look at the button in my own blog, it seems that you can't add categories directly, and you would have to edit the posts and add them in (though I really suggest you use Dashboard -> Posts -> New Post, since that is the preferred method, and it's more reliable, especially for a large post). Not sure why this is the case to be honest.

Secondly, to get new users to be able to post content, inviting them to view the blog won't let them do that. You'll need to add them as a User, and make them a Contributor, Author or Editor (or Administrator, but really only you should be that). Each of those roles are able to write new posts, but have different restrictions. A contributor can only write a post, but you have to publish it. An author can only edit and publish their own posts. And an editor can edit/publish anyone's posts. I'm guessing you might want to make them Authors.

Once you make them an Author, they'll be able to post new content themselves. I believe they can do it through that new post button at the top, but they'll have access to the Dashboard as well, where they can post through Posts -> New Posts (they won't have access to editing the appearance of the blog, etc).

Honestly wordpress.org is going to be much more complicated than all this, and people won't have an admin bar, so I think it's best to stick with wordpress.com (But still here are the differences: http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/)

If you have any questions since the above is a lot of information, please feel free to ask them here.

Here's how to add users: http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/
Here's the description of the User Roles: http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

I have set up categories as menu pages across the top of the website.
(http://fpdirect.wordpress.com/ is the website address but as it's set to private I don't think anyone will be able to see it unless invited).

I'm using the free theme 'Matala' (not sure if this has any affect on the ability to categorize)
Basically I just want the users to be able to add the post they make to existing categories as they type the post. As a user if I go to the website and I click on the "new post" link at the top of the page (assuming all users will have this) then it slides the top of the page down to reveal an area for posting with the option to post an item as text, photo, video, quote or link.
When I click to post text I can see the text editor but there is no option to select a category. Does this mean that the only way to categorize posts is to do it after the post has been published? Is it any different if I were to use wordpress.org?

None of the many visitor tracking programs I have tested and used on free hosted wordpress.com will provide the kind detail you specify above.

As for what I'm looking for, it's the ability to track not just visitors to my page and what country they are coming from, but also the specific cities and specific referrals for individual visitors.

That's a no go here but can be done on a WordPress.org install.
