In "post link" place your links and add your post title in ‘place text’
In "image link" place your image link, you can host image on Blogger; just upload you image; preview them and from address bar copy image’s direct code and place them in Image link; otherwise use Tinypic-Upload your image; then copy links from ‘direct links for layout’. You should use images size of 800px width and 400px height bigger size will be scaled into this size.
You can delete a slide content by deleting <a> to </a>
You can add more slide by coping <a> to </a>
You can also change the default image size by changing value of height and width in case you will have change all height width values.
