  Hey,
  I have been trying to put a slideshow on my home page, but my theme doesn’t come with post slider option. I use the Adelle Theme. I tryied to insert a gallery, but it has the appearance of a post, with the comment options, but I didn’t want this. I want a slideshow only with some images. How can I get it?
  Thanks

  The theme you refer to is not designed to have a featured post front page slider. For 46 Post Slider WordPress.com Themes that display a large slideshow at the top of your front page to highlight your recent posts or images click this link http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/post-slider/

  However, we can place a slideshow on any post or page and your front page can be a static page.

  Are you clear on the differences between posts and pages?

  By default the front page of your blog displays all published posts (not pages) in reverse chronological order, with the most recently published post on top. That is for the convenience of your returning visitors, who come to read your latest post, and who are not likely to be happy with being compelled to click through the same static page with the same blah, blah, blah on it every time they visit the blog looking for the latest post.

  However, if you do not want all the posts to show on the front page, then you can create a static front page called for example “Welcome” for your site and a “Blog” page for posts. To do that create two pages http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/

  After you do that you go to > Settings > Reading and make the designation change and click “save changes”.
