1. Go to Theme menu --> Edit HTML

2. then copy the entire CSS code below

3. Place it above the code ]]></b:skin>


<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'> 
<style> 
.slide-wrapper {padding:0 auto;margin:0 auto;width:100%;float: left;word-wrap: break-word; overflow: hidden;} 
.slide {color: #666666;line-height: 1.3em;} 
.slide ul {list-style:none;margin:0 0 0;padding:0 0 0;} 
.slide li {margin:0;padding-top:0; padding-right:0;padding-bottom:.25em; padding-left:0px;text-indent:0px;line-height:1.3em;} 
.slide .widget {margin:0px 0px 6px 0px;} 
#featuredContent{float:left;width:100%;margin:0 auto;display:inline;margin-bottom:0px;margin-top:0;} 
#featured-slider{position:relative;overflow:hidden;width:100%;height:300px} 
#featured-slider .sliderPostInfo{position:absolute;bottom:2px;width:100%;min-height:30px;height:auto!important;background:url(https://i0.wp.com/www.jagoankode.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/transparant.png)} 
#featured-slider .sliderPostInfo p{color:#fff;font-size:1.1em;padding:0 8px;width:100%} 
#featured-slider .sliderPostInfo h2 {font:bold 17px Verdana;text-transform:none;padding:5px 8px 0 8px;width:100%} 
#featured-slider .sliderPostInfo a,#featured-slider .sliderPostInfo h2 a:link,#featured-slider .sliderPostInfo h2 a:visited {color:#FF6} 
#featured-slider .contentdiv{visibility:hidden;position:absolute;left:0;top:0;z-index:1} 
#paginate-featured-slider {display:block;background-color:#f0f0f0;margin-bottom:0;padding:0 0 5px} 
#paginate-featured-slider ul {width:100%;padding-bottom:0;list-style:none} 
#paginate-featured-slider ul li {display:inline;width:85px;height:70px;float:left;margin-left:0;margin-right:11px;margin-bottom:8px} 
#paginate-featured-slider ul li:last-child {margin-right:0;} 
#paginate-featured-slider img {padding-top:5px;background:#f0f0f0;width:100%;height:100%} 
#paginate-featured-slider a img{border-top:4px solid #f0f0f0;width:100%;height:100%} 
#paginate-featured-slider a:hover img,#paginate-featured-slider a.selected img{border-top:4px solid #357798} @media screen and (max-width:500px){ 
#paginate-featured-slider {display:none} } 
</style> 
</b:if>

 

4. After that, you look for the following code <b:section class='main'>or<div id='main'> or <div class='main'>

5. then copy the HTML code below right above it.


<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'> 
<div id='slide-wrapper'> 
<b:section class='slide' id='slide' preferred='yes'> 
<b:widget id='HTML4' locked='false' title='' type='HTML' version='1'> 
<b:widget-settings> <b:widget-setting name='content'>
&lt;div id=&#39;featuredContent&#39;&gt; &lt;div class=&#39;sliderwrapper&#39; id=&#39;featured-slider&#39;&gt; &lt;script&gt;

document.write(&quot;&lt;script src=&quot;/feeds/posts/default/-/Featured?max-results=&quot;+numposts3+&quot;&amp;orderby=published&amp;alt=json-in-script&amp;callback=showrecentposts4&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&quot;); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;div class=&#39;clear&#39;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type=&#39;text/javascript&#39;&gt; featuredcontentslider.init({ id: &quot;featured-slider&quot;, //id of main slider DIV contentsource: [&quot;inline&quot;, &quot;&quot;], //Valid values: [&quot;inline&quot;, &quot;&quot;] or [&quot;ajax&quot;, &quot;path_to_file&quot;] toc: &quot;markup&quot;, //Valid values: &quot;#increment&quot;, &quot;markup&quot;, [&quot;label1&quot;, &quot;label2&quot;, etc] nextprev: [&quot;&quot;, &quot;&quot;], //labels for &quot;prev&quot; and &quot;next&quot; links. Set to &quot;&quot; to hide. revealtype: &quot;mouseover&quot;, //Behavior of pagination links to reveal the slides: &quot;click&quot; or &quot;mouseover&quot; enablefade: [true, 0.4], //[true/false, fadedegree] autorotate: [true, 5000], //[true/false, pausetime] onChange: function(previndex, curindex){ //event handler fired whenever script changes slide //previndex holds index of last slide viewed b4 current (1=1st slide, 2nd=2nd etc) //curindex holds index of currently shown slide (1=1st slide, 2nd=2nd etc) } }) &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</b:widget-setting> 
</b:widget-settings> 
<b:includable id='main'> 
<!-- only display title if it's non-empty --> 
<b:if cond='data:title != &quot;&quot;'> 
<h2 class='title'>
<data:title/>
</h2> 
</b:if> 
<div class='widget-content'> 
<data:content/> 
</div> 
</b:includable> 
</b:widget> 
</b:section> 
</div> 
</b:if> 
<div class='clear'/>

6. Well, the last stage we will give a little touch of Javascript

7. Copy the code below and paste it right above the code </head>.

<script src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.0/jquery/min.js' type='text/javascript'/><b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'> <script type='text/javascript'> //<![CDATA[ var featuredcontentslider={ //3 variables below you can customize if desired: ajaxloadingmsg: '<div style="margin: 20px 0 0 20px"><img src="loading.gif" /> Fetching slider Contents.
