But if I create static showcase page as home page, how can I include the feed of latest blog posts? I want both, not either/or, but WordPress admin seems to force a choice between static and latest blog posts. Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks for your help.

In Oxygen you can either have a Home page that displays your posts or a static front page ie. a Showcase template. http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/#setting-up-a-static-front-page

Showcase page template
When you first activate Oxygen, you’ll see your posts in a traditional blog format but if you’d like to showcase your content in an online magazine-like fashion, then you can use the Showcase Page template. ...

Sticky post thumbnails are 750 pixels wide in the featured slider
Regular post thumbnails are 450 pixels wide

I've made a showcase template page, even set it as my static homepage, but still no featured slider- what am I doing wrong? I have now returned my blog to its original settings just for my visitors.
