blog posts on layerslider

hi
my client want to have a slider (3d carosel actually) with a mix of images and recent blog posts.
I am doing some tests in the advanced layerslider but am confused whether to use layers with dynamic content or some other post settings on the slide itself. I read on this thread: https://kriesi.at/support/topic/layerslider-wp-dynamic-content-from-posts/#post-512622

I figured out an easy way to achieve this: Just open a page and select default editor mode. In the text editor, use the magic wand and select: Content Elements> Blog posts. Use the settings as required and copy the generated shortcode in the Layer Slider.

which seems to be what i need, but I don’t see where to put the shortcode: [av_blog blog_type='taxonomy' link='category,1' blog_style='single-big' columns='3' contents='excerpt' content_length='excerpt_read_more' preview_mode='custom' image_size='gallery' items='1' offset='0' paginate='no' conditional='' av_uid='' custom_class=''] to make it work. I want the slide to look like my blogpost, with a title, image, and excerpt text centered on a white background.

Can you help me with this, or walk me through the best way to do this? I haven’t worked with the layerslider very much before.

thanks for your help
Nancy
