nextgen-gallery How to put on front page

How do I put a slideshow on the front page as a permanent post? I’d like to edit the index.php file and put it at the top without a title.

This is the result if I use a sticky post (This works when I go to the just the actual post):

The Flash Player and a browser with Javascript support are needed.. var so1_1 = { params : { wmode : “opaque”, allowfullscreen : “true”, bgcolor : “#FFFFFF”}, flashvars : { file : “http%3A%2F%2Fcitizensactionproject.com%2Fjohn%2Findex.php%3Fslideshow%3Dtrue%26gid%3D1”, linkfromdisplay : “true”, shownavigation : “false”, showicons…

I have also tried this code in the template file:

<?php
$the_post = get_post( $myid = 85, ARRAY_A );
$title = $the_post[‘post_title’];
$content = $the_post[‘post_content’];
the_post();
?>
