REWIND THEME 

CONFIGURING THE FRONT PAGE SLIDER
When you edit a post, in the top of the right column you will see a box that enables to feature a post in the slider. The featured image of that post will be the slide image. One post is one slide. The slider images will be automatically resized but suggested size is 710x300px.

FEATURED POSTS IN THE FRONT PAGE
As you can see in the demo there are some featured posts in the front page. You need to create a category named 'featured' and assign posts to that category.
Create a page, and select the 'Custom Front Page' template from the template dropdown. Then in 'Settings-Reading' select the new page to be the front page of your website.

WIDGET LOCATIONS
This theme has two widget locations. The Front Page Widget, which is the widget in the front page below the slider, and the Right Sidebar.
