  A slideshow will display a set of images attached to a particular post or page. If you upload images using the Add an Image button while editing/creating the post or page, they will be attached automatically. If you upload images directly to the media library from Media -> Add New, you will need to attach them to a post or page before they will appear in a slideshow. Please see here and take note of the list of related links. http://en.support.wordpress.com/slideshows/

  The Ambiru theme does not provide the ability to have a slideshow in the header if that’s what you mean. I looked at your blog and you are CSS editing. CSS editing can only be used to change appearance. It cannot be used to change or add to functionality.

  I’m sorry but the only theme I know of here that provides for a front page slideshow is Modularity Lite. Mayne it will suit your needs http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/modularity-lite/ If it does then be sure to remove your CSS editing before activating it. If you have custom CSS and later change themes, you need to delete whatever CSS you have in the Editor, otherwise, you’ll get undesired results. To ‘reset’ a theme, you need to delete the CSS in the Editor, make sure the “add to existing CSS” radio button is checked, then save. Things should go back to normal.

  What you can do (in any theme that supports header images) is create and upload an animated GIF as your header image. Note well: it has to be in the exact dimensions specified by the theme.
