[wordpress] How to keep a blog post permanently at the top of the blog?

Hi guys,
I'm making a topsite using wordpress. I'm using it to post new websites and get subscribers.

What I want is the opt-in box at the top of the blog and all the other posts underneath.

Something like this:



I wonder if there is plugin or something so that I can have a particular post at the top of the page, and the other posts underneath.

Something like the "What seth godin would do?" plugin.

So what do you suggest?

Thanks,
anions

 

I don't know of a plugin, but just take the post out of the loop and put it above it in the index.php.

 

Ok.

This is my index.php

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div class="content">
	
	<div id="primary">
		<?php if (get_option('k2rollingarchives') == 1) { ?>
		<div id="dynamic-content">

			<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/rollingarchive.php'); ?>

		</div> <!-- #dynamic-content -->
		<?php } else { ?>
		<div id="current-content" class="hfeed">

			<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/theloop.php'); ?>

		</div> <!-- #current-content -->

		<div id="dynamic-content"></div>
		<?php } ?>
	</div> <!-- #primary -->

	<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
	
</div> <!-- .content -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Code (markup):

So do I put the html code after the

line?

Thanks for helping

 

There are a number of "announcement" and "sticky plug ins available. I'll have a bit of a google.

Depending on how your CSS works, you'd want it either after

or after

so that they use the same styling

 

Exactly what I was looking for
I tried googling with a lot of keywords, but the word 'sticky' didnt pop up in my mind

Ok, I'll try and see which one works.

I want it to look more like an optin form, so now that i know how its done I'd rather have it look like a seperate box than a blog post.


Either way, thanks a lot gazu and techblog for your help

np, just google what ever and put wordpress next to it..

 

I used the sticky plugin and it works fine. Just make sure the sticky doesn't push down your new posts, or else people will think you haven't posted anything new.

 

Good one, i would have also suggested the Sticky plugin.. i use it and it works good.
Just a single option in the post page and the post is stickied

 

I've decided to use WWSGD, because it works perfectly with a few modifcations and yes I dont want to push the other posts down.
