Exclude Sticky Posts

Hi there,

I have this at in my home.php template, which uses a slider to display sticky posts. I want to adhere to the latest practices, so not sure how I’d update this `<?php query_posts( array( ‘post__not_in’ => get_option( ‘sticky_posts’ ), ‘paged’ => get_query_var( ‘paged’ ) ) ); ?>
` to not use query_posts?

Any help or advice is appreciated.
