keeping a post permanently at the top of a word press blog??

I apologize if this question has been previously asked but could not find a result when I searched

I want to keep one post permanently at the top of my WP blog. Is there any way I can do this?

If so, is it also possible to keep a post at the top of a particular category?

Thanks for any help with this.

 

This should work for you:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-sticky/

 

Thanks for that. That does help but thought I would clarify my question

I would like for the one post to "stick" to the top of the front page but not appear at the top of all the categories.

Is that possible?

Also is it possible to have a different post "stick" to the top of each category?

Thanks for any help with this

 

you could use a custom home-page
> http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_your_own_Page_Templates
> http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page

then manually add your post to the top of it, with the wp loop doing its thing below

OK will try that and post the results back here.

Thanks

You can add a html announcement to the top of your site, blog post, or whatever. Its static.
I use it to add a banner to every 2nd level article like this one under the title...

Thanks wiseassoffice I did try this. But the problem is that the announcement appears on the top of every page of the blog. I just want the post to be at the top of the home page. I would also love to be able to put different static posts at the top of each category page (different ones for each)

 

Just put it into the main index template instead then.

 

Actually, it'd be best to copy index.php in your template and call it home.php - then add what you want above the loop. That way, it will only show up on your home page and won't show up anywhere else where index.php might be getting called.

 

basically what i said, but in a readable format
