I’m guessing the answer is wait for code fixes, BUT if someone is successfully using with 3.8 I’d love to know?

Dashboard > Site features

As for where your posts show up, check settings, reading. If set to static page you’ll probably use a menu to access posts based on category or whatever. You can also specify a blog page.

again, assuming your using Cbox theme:

Dashboard>site features>add feature> Add at least title, and an image.
Be sure to add “featured Image”

Featured image should show in the slider, you can have multiple images in the post.

It does depend on what theme you’re using
If you’re using the Cbox theme:
Dashboard>site features>add feature> Add at least title, and an image.

As you have multiple images, a selector shows up, and they rotate.

You can do the same thing/similar with other themes, but the method will be different

Hope this helps
