I mean, the page where the summary of the posts are listed (i.e. http://blueowlcreative.com/wp/aqua/blog/)?

Each slider has a shortcode to be added to the content and a code to be added in a template, you would use the latter. Try this out:

<?php
if ( is_home() ) {
    HERE ADD THE CODE FOR YOUR SLIDER
}
?>

From the theme html use: <?php putRevSlider( "alias" ) ?> example: <?php putRevSlider() ?> 
   For show only on homepage use: <?php putRevSlider(,"homepage") ?> 
   For show on certain pages use: <?php putRevSlider(,"2,10") ?>

but am not sure if that’s the answer

Sure that is how you need to add it, you don’t even need my check, just pass the second param, where you want to slideshow to show! :)

Or maybe I am doing it wrong. What do I put in place of “alias”? Do I use the shortcode for example “[rev_slider name]“?

Alias would be whatever you entered in your Slider Alias field, for example for my slider from the Demo: home_slider
