But some themes have a featured post slider that automatically advances: Debut, Currents, Linen, On Demand, Modularity Lite. (the first 4 are premium themes) and the last one is a free theme. Sight is also a free theme with an auto-advancing post slider.

CSS is a styling document used by the browser to style and place existing elements of a web page. It cannot be used to add functionality.

I might suggest looking for a theme you like that has a post slider.

There is no setting to reverse the order. Blogs are essentially a reverse chronological order publishing tool and you cannot change this order on a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

Readers arrive to read our most recent posts. In the case of my blog that means they don't have to slog through over 800 posts to locate the most recent one.

See here for the option of creating a book-like structure > http://en.support.wordpress.com/write-a-book/ Perhaps that will work for you.

You could use a sticky post as an index page > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

You can go to http://theme.wordpress.com/ and click on "find a theme" and then click on "features" and then select "post slider" and you will be presented with a list of themes here that have post sliders.

It may be though that what you are looking for is the slideshow feature here. Check out these two options.

That is,
When I click the first image(or any arrow or something like that), the next image is coming on the main page instead of the first one.
Is it possible?

A few have auto-advancing post sliders. None allow for programming timing.

Sight is a free theme a featured post slider that does auto-advance and so does Modularity Lite but you cannot control the frequency of display. http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/sight/
http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/post-slider/

Premium themes with featured post sliders that automatically advance are: Debut, Currents, Linen, On Demand.

There is no means here http://wordpress.com/themes/ of searching for that exact "auto-advancing" feature. We can only search for themes with "post sliders". http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/features/post-slider/
Happy hunting!

I want to have one image on my home screen, which changes every time the site is refreshed.

That's not possible on a free hosted WordPress.com blogs. For that you need to hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up your own WordPress.org install. http://wordpress.org/

There is no FTP access to our free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we cannot install plugins. There is no upgrade we can purchase that changes that.

The same scenario presented here at WordPress.COM when I used themes that had featured post sliders that did auto-advance and did not auto-advance. Very few visitors clicked the links.
