Install Jetpack Plugin and connect with wordpress.com.
Create a new account with wordpress.com if you dont have one.
Create Posts for the slider
The posts you want on the homepage slider should have a featured image and should have been tagged with the same tag. I use the tag ‘featured’
Create a page using the fullscreen template
Set this page as the front page in the customizer
Go to the Featured Content Tab in the customizer. Add your tag.
You should see the slider running.
