So please rephrase, as I don't understand your question: "when I am viewing from the computer" as opposed to what?

This requires marking at least one post as a sticky (you haven't done that), setting a featured image to it (you've done that), and making sure the image is at least 750px wide (only the one of your three featured images is wide enough).

To mark a post as a sticky when you create the post, you click the Edit tab next to "Visibility" in the Publish module, check the option "Stick this post", click OK. For an already published post, it's faster to go to Posts > All Posts, hover over the title of the post, click Quick Edit, check the option "Make this post sticky", click Update.

Your "wael-gomaa" image is only 455px wide, your "cooltext849554223" is only 304px wide, your "wilfried_bony02" is 800px wide. So at the moment you can only mark the post with the "wilfried_bony02" image as a sticky.

Perhaps I am refering to it wrong. My issue is not being able to get the large image at the top of the page to show. I have increased the pixel size to the required size but still nothing. How do I accomplish this? Thanks for your patience I am not very savvy with the internet.

Then you go to Settings > Reading, click the option "Front page displays" > "A static page", select the page you created from the "Front page" pulldown, scroll down and click Save Changes.

But you've done all that. The main column of your blog front is displaying a "Recent Articles" section and a "More articles" section: that's the showcase template alright. Aren't you seeing these two headings?

If you look at the Oxygen tag of the forums, you'll find a lot of suggestions.
