  As your blog is set to list posts in reverse chronological order, to get your post back up to top, change the publication date to today.

  You can change the ‘published on’ date in the ‘publish’ box on the right hand side of your edit screen.

  Every time you change a datestamp you break a link and that’s not what you want to do. Read this please > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/08/05/avoid-creating-404-pages/

  If you want to keep a post at the top then you can edit the post http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/ and make the visibility selection “sticky post”. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/post-visibility/#sticky-posts

  The last thing you ever want to do after a post has been indexed by search engines is change the datestamp. You’re welcome. :)
