  a) After you publish enough posts with featured images that are at least 750px wide, you mark up to 6 posts as stickies.

  b1) Create a new page in Pages > Add New: enter a title but no content, select the showcase template for it from the Template pulldown, publish.
  b2) Go to Settings > Reading and set the blog front to display this new page.

  You missed this part of @justpi’s answer:

  The slider has fixed dimensions. You can’t make it smaller (except if you had the Custom Design upgrade), so you need to create and use 750 x 380 images.
