You are done.
OPTIONAL: If you want to make the slider to appear only on home page follow the next steps:
Give a name for your html/javascript widget. Let's say Slideshow. Go to edit html, expand your template and search for slideshow. You will find this code or similar (without the red lines):
<b:section class='art-content' id='main' showaddelement='no'> <b:widget id='HTML2' locked='false' title='Slideshow' type='HTML'> <b:includable id='main'> <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'> <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'> <!-- only display title if it's non-empty --> <b:if cond='data:title != ""'> <h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2> </b:if> <div class='widget-content'> <data:content/> </div> <b:include name='quickedit'/> </b:if></b:if>
For making the slide appear only on home page add the red lines to that code as you see in the upper code.
Save the template. Now you can remove the title of your slider widget.

O YES, IT IS WORKING
I want it only at my homepage ... not everywhere on my blog ... how can I do something ?
I added the steps for your request. Read the OPTIONAL step in the tutorial.
Hi...
I am having a couple of issues with your tutorials. No doubt theyare the best, but when i try to install this slideshow in my blogger template and paste the script to show it on first page, i receive a blank line in other pages. This is very annoying and i am trying this for god knows how many days, but still couldn't figure out what went wrong. Could you assist me in this? If you want i will give you my template.
Thanks
Rajat
You are a GENIUS! I've used almost all of your tricks, now. There's no reason on earth to switch to Wordpress now -- everything I want to do in Blogger you've taught me how. This is incredible. Great site, clear posts, wonderful :).
