The slider isn’t pulling the images I linked to even though I double checked and it is listed under Custom Fields, etc. Any ideas?
this is because your hosting hasn’t enabled the GD library for your server, or your monte-criston/scripts/ folder doesn’t have full permissions:
This theme runs an image resizing script known as TIMTHUMB .PHP. The following are requirements in order for TIMTHUMB to run properly:
- TimThumb requires the GD library, which is available on any host sever with PHP 4 .3+ installed. – Proper write-permissions in folder * “monte-cristo/scripts/” to 777 and – Proper write-permissions in folder * “monte-cristo/scripts/cache” to 777
Contact your host and to add the following rules [ 1234234,340151,340153 ] to mod_security for www.yourwebsite.com. and Please whitelist for the domain

Does this theme support drop downs for the page navigation?
Yes it does! If you have downloaded the older version where it doesn’t support child pages – get the updated files from this link: http://fearlessflyer.com/downloads/Monte-Cristo-Update.zip
This download IS NOT the whole theme! It only contains the files needed to convert the page navigation to support child pages in a drop down style menu: Header.php and the css files.
Simply – unzip this file locally – replace header.php and style.css with the files in the zip file.

How do you limit the amount of text being shown in the home page templates? I thought it was pulling from the excerpt but that does not appear to be the case.
I find it best to just use the “Read More” tag where you want the post to break off. http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/
This way you can control if you want links / images to show in the excerpt because by default – the_excerpt strips these tags out.
although, if you really want to change to the excerpt:
inside the theme folder – look for the file: “slider-with-latest-posts.php” and change the line that says: “the_content()” to the “the_excerpt()”

On the animated slider, where can I slow down the animation, it’s going too fast?
inside the theme\scripts\ folder – look for file named “easySlider1.7.js” – open and look for this line: “pause: 2000,” change the 2000 to a higher number represented on milliseconds
