Do not want to display the first "N" posts
 

Hello, I know this is a strange request, but I'm trying to avoid duplicates posts in home page.
I'd like my loop NOT to display the first 5 most recent posts, because I'd like to display them in a slider somewhere else in the home page. Tried to use suggestion from the WP Codex, but I only achieved a blank homepage instead of the right one...

GOOD!!:):):)
Thank you!
