 * Hi, is there an easy way to just remove the slider from the front page.? This
   is a great theme, but there really should have been an option to not show the
   slider, just like it has for the author box etc.

 * It’s ok, I removed it manually myself.
 * For anyone else that needs to remove the slider here’s how (one way) to do it.
   Hopefully it works for you.
 * Go to the theme editor
 * Go to style.css
 * Find: .slides,.slides .slide-thumb,.cycle-slideshow{height: 400px;}
 * Change 400px to 0px
 * Refresh homepage and the slider should be gone. Working for me.
 * Cheers.

 * You should be aware that modifying any theme files is not suggested. If the theme
   gets updated because of feature enhancements, bug fixes, or security patches,
   or if the theme has to be updated because of a change to the WordPress core, 
   then your changes will be lost. Instead, either create a [child theme](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)
   or use a CSS plugin like Jetpack or [Custom CSS Manager](http://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-manager-plugin/)
   and add your overriding CSS. In your case, adding a rule like this would hide
   the slider:
 *     ```
       #slide-wrap {
          display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * If you are only making CSS changes, then a plugin is a much easier way to go.
