Sometimes you have an important or popular blog post that you would like to be more prominent that the rest.  In this case you can set it to be "sticky", so that it stays at the top of the view of recent blog posts.

1. Start editing the page you wish to make sticky.
2. Scroll down to the bottom.  Click on the box that says "Publishing options".
3. Click on the check box by the text "Sticky at top of lists" so that the box becomes ticked.
4. Click "Save".

After a while you will likely want to remove the sticky status - perhaps at the same time as you make another page sticky (you don't want many sticky ones).  The procedure is the same, just untick the box.
