Hello again! I apologize for the late response in getting back to you on some of the above issues.
#1 – I tried to paste the full code from the snippi link and replace it as instructed, however, when I did this it disabled my site, and at that point I was a little panicked so I do not remember the exact issue it was having, but it said something about an error “parse” on line 4 I believe? I do apologize, but I freaked out a little when it appeared, so I put back in the old code. If there is nothing wrong with the code just let me know and I might have the guts to attempt it again. 
#2 – I think I understand what you are saying about the image sizes and the RSS feed. I had always sized the images the same to the featured image would show up correctly in the slider on the main page, so the dimensions I use for this are 940×630. Will the slider work with an image width of 620?
#3 Thank you so much! It looks amazing now, and I had been trying for hours to figure out how to do it – I appreciate this so much! 
#4 Thank you – this issue is okay now!
Finally, sorry to post this on an old thread, but I was wondering if it is possible to be able to change the sidebars when a reader is inside a post. To clarify, my homepage sidebars are the same as they are now when viewing my blog from the home page, but when the reader clicks into a blog post, the sidebar options and information changes). Is this a modification of the theme or is this something that you could point me to a tutorial on how to do? If it is outside the realm of your assistance please let me know, as I know I have probably asked more questions than most customers!
Thank you for all of your help and/or guidance! I hope you are having a great week!
Angie
