nevermind, figured it out. I wanted it to be above the blogroll and the sidebar. I added this in my theme’s header.php:
<?php if (is_front_page()) : ?>
<div id=”monoslideshow”>
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[monoslideshow id=4 w=1080 h=720]’); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
after this line:
<div id=”content” class=”clearfix<?php if (is_page_template(‘template-onecolumn.php’)) {echo ‘ one_column’;} ?>”>
