The I just had to press the "make featured image" button as I was choosing an image. I thought by default all images added were featured because the button you press to add an image was "add featured image."

The Showcase page template offers a featured slider for sticky posts. If you’d like a post to appear in the slider, mark it as sticky and assign it a featured image that’s at least 500 pixels wide.

I have already completed the following steps
1. Created a page and selected "Showcase Template"
2. Set front page option to "static page"
3. Set the new page w/ the showcase template to the "front page"

I have also created a few posts and made them sticky w/ featured images (you can see this in the blog section) but for some reason, there is no slider on the home page.

Skylark Theme: http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/skylark/

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
