  I’d like to have a list of my favorite posts in a widget or some other fashion on my blog. But I’d like to these to be my favorites, not the most liked (which there is an option for)…sort of highlighting my “pillar posts” as some folks call them. Any ideas?

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

  I have used a Links Widget for Posts that I want to highlight – you will need to also set up a Links Category and add the Posts to it you want to highlight –

  You can also use a text widget and add the links but I like the Links Widget as it has a bullet at the start of each link and that separates the Posts a bit

  You can select the titles and display them in a text widget.

  You can create static pages like I have done:

  Thanks timethief, now that you explain it, I feel like I should have figured that out on my own…many thanks for the response.
