How to Make a Post Sticky In WordPress

First of all what is a sticky post and why would you want one?

A sticky post is one that remains at the top of your blog all the time.  As you know a blog places posts in reverse chronological order…the newest is first and the oldest is last.   But with a sticky post no matter how many posts your have the sticky one remains first.

Why would you want to do that?  If you have some critical information that you don’t want to get lost in the posting you make it sticky.  Perhaps the post is time sensitive and you want it to remain at the top until the period is up.

The first thing you have to do is login to your WP-Admin Panel and open up the post page.  On the  right hand side you will see the PUBLISH box.  Click on EDIT next to Visibility.  And simply check the box that says Stick this post to the front page” hit OK and you’ve got a sticky post.

When you are done writing the post hit Publish and you are done!
