 * I’m very new to WordPress so I’m not quite sure how to formulate my question,
   but here goes:
 * In the process of editing my website, I inadvertently (well, that’s not true,
   I did it on purpose, ignorant of the consequences) edited my WordPress website
   link, and now I’m unable to access my WordPress Dashboard. The issue didnt happen
   immediately; I was able to see on my site that I didn’t get my desired result,
   and I went back to my Dashboard and changed the site link back to what it was
   before. At that point, that’s when I had issues.
 * What I get now is my maintenance page; again, not able to get to my dash. I was
   going to uninstall WP and reinstall it but thought I’d ask for assistance before
   I did that.

 * Going to Settings > General and changing the “WordPress Address (URL)” and the“
   Site Address (URL)”, because everything in your database, including the Login
   is linked to your former address.
 * You must change them back to what they were. To do this, follow these instruction
   to the letter: [Changing the URL directly in the database « WordPress Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database).
   To do this, you have to login into your hosting account.
 * If you have problems, come back to this thread and state the problem you are 
   having.

 * Neo;
    Thanks so much; that specific issue has been resolved, I now have access
   to my dashboard.
 * My original problem was me having difficulty figuring out how to display my most
   recent posts along with their thumbnails on my home page. I did some research
   and did find a plugin that allows me to display my recent posts, but it only 
   displays the link to the original post, along with a few sentences of the article.
   The plugin name is Display Post Shortcode, and the code I embedded in my static
   page was:
 * [display-posts posts_per_page=”5″ image_size=”thumbnail” include_excerpt=”true”]
 * What I’m looking for is a similar setup of:

 * Sorry for the tangent lol
 * Thanks again

 * What is at the top of the site you linked is a “galery slider”, probably “carousel”
   style. There are plugins for them in the [WordPress Plugin Directory](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
   or a commercial one.
    A link to your site, please. And what theme are you using?

 * My still under construction website is [http://www.thesixsixthree.com](http://www.thesixsixthree.com).
   I was able to get the slider to work, but I was looking more at the posts with
   the picture above it, and how to replicate it. I actually have the Blender theme
   that I linked.

 * Your theme, [Blender, is actually a commercial theme](http://themeforest.net/item/blender-wordpress-portfolio-theme/639695?s_phrase=wordpress/forums&s_rank=9)
   and the Forum only handles issues concerning the free themes from the [WordPress Theme Directory](https://wordpress.org/themes/),
   but I will give you one hint…
 * Images displayed with posts are usually the Featured Image of each post. There
   is a “box” on the right side of the Post Editor window that is labelled “Set 
   Featured Image”. Try picking an image and see if it shows. Failing that, you 
   would have to contact the developer of the theme.
