  On one blog on Word Press the blog owner does a thing which he calls bumping a post (that has been there for a while) up to the top of the blog. Can anyone tell me how to do that? Thank you for any help that you can give me.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can either set the post as Sticky in the options on the right sidebar of the Edit page, or you can just change the date so it appears to be brand-new. If you do the second, you should change it back later.

  You change the date by clicking on the little Calendar icon to the right of the post box in Edit.

  Thank you for solving that for me. I have successfully bumped a posting to the top page of the blog.

  When the post was bumped to the top, the text heading had a blue blackground to it. This went away when I unbumped the posting.
