HOW TO USE THE FEATURED CONTENT SLIDER
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- After you activated the theme, please make sure you go to the theme option and setup your site there.

- To use the featured content slider, enable it, choose a category from the dropdown options, choose how many posts to show and save it. (note: please make sure you have more than 1 post on the category for slider).

- This slider will automatically pull first image on post to use as slider image, if there's none, please custom define your slider image using custom field.

- Please use custom values below for user defined featured slider images:

* feat-img = featured content slider

- On the edit post panel, scroll down to custom fields, press enter new, insert custom values as above in the Name box and insert the FULL URL of your image on the Value box, finally press add custom field to update it.

POSTING WITH IMAGES
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. When creating a new post, look for the lower right corner. You should see a "Featured Image" section there.

2. In the "Featured Image" section, upload an image or select from gallery. Then choose "set as featured image".

3. Save the Post and viola! ;)

Note: To avoid low quality images, always upload high-resolution images in the gallery. If the images doesn't crop with the right sizes, I suggest you use the plugin "Regenerate Thumbnails" (download at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/). The reason for that is because the new post-thumbnail feature only works fully for new image uploads.

YOUTUBE EMBED VIDEO
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Basically, all theme option settings are explained inside their own box settings.

HOW TO EMBED YOUTUBE VIDEO?

- For example, I want to display this Miley's video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU1514VkDkc

I'll just take the 'bU1514VkDkc' and paste it inside the featured video box setting and save it..
