I’m starting to discover reasons for which I might like to use a “Sticky” post on my WordPress blogs: posts which stay stuck to the top of your post roll on your home page. Sometimes, it’s better to have a small introductory post greet your visitors than to send them to a static home page with very little content.
But now that they have the sticky concept down, it’s time they added a filter option to the Edit Posts screen, as I suggested in the below Ideas page:
WordPress › WordPress Ideas — Idea: Display ‘sticky post’ icon on Edit Posts page.
