A Sticky Post in WordPress is one that “sticks” to the top of your blog on the first page. Other posts will always appear below a sticky post. This is extremely useful if you want to have a post that has an introduction or an announcement.
You used to have to futz with the date or add WP-Sticky plug-in. As of WordPress 2.7, the Sticky Post feature is built right in – how lovely!
And it is very easy to use. On the right sidebar (just to the right of the post you are creating), there is a block called Publish. The second section of Publish is Visibility. Click on the Edit link:
Once you click on the Edit link, you’ll want to check the box “Stick this post to the front page.”
Then click the Publish (or Update Post) button.
Voila! Your post is now Sticky! When you are tired of your sticky post, simply uncheck the box and hit Save. Your post will go back to live in its chronological order.
Fantasticky!!!
