wordpress version of a ‘sticky post’
-
I’d like to create a ‘sticky post’. Something that introduces my blog. I tried the suggestion in the FAQ section, by making the post a page and choosing that as my front page, but then it listed all my pages… Did I do something wrong? Or is it just not possible to have an intro message in WordPress?

Well, I know of a blogger who dated his post a year ahead. 2009. It worked on his theme/template: the post stayed on top. I don’t know if it works on WP blogs – he blogs on an other system. I also don’t know if it will have any consequences for feeds or pinging services…

PS: We do not have a regular way to make sticky post on our blogs. That feature is not an option on WordPress.com.

It won’t work by post-dating. It will simply go off the blog until that date rolls around.
If you do a search for “Post On Top” or related terms you’ll find there are a couple of ways to do this, but none of them very easy.
I don’t know what you mean when you describe the static page problem. What, exactly, did it show? It should only have the content you put in the page and sidebar content IF your theme displays sidebars on pages.

Yes, I see that now, raincoaster. And if one keeps changing the timestamp after every new post in order to have the standard post on top, it messes up technorati

To say nothing of being a total pain in the butt. The best workaround is just to use the static page (which kills SEO) or put it in a text widget at the side of the blog.
