Shortcodes for the blog posts

Please, I downloaded twenty eleven theme because I saw online that it is a dynamic theme that allows homepage and blog posts to appear on a static page.
But I have been trying to figure out for hours with no success. I have a technology site, https://www.phonesfaq.com and using arena product stores to display phones on the home page, however I want my blog posts to also apply as a slider on the same homepage. I also have recent post slider plugin installed but I do not know how to incorporate everything. Please help. Thank you
