Let’s say your group is putting on a HUGE event that you want your entire audience to know about. In fact, the event is so big that you wish your blog post about that event was always at the top of your list of posts on your home page. Not a problem with WordPress and sticky posts. Here’s a quick guide to making a sticky post.
1. Log into the Dashboard menu of your WordPress blog.
2. Expand the Posts menu on the left, and click on Edit
3. Mouse over the post you’d like to turn into a sticky post, and the Quick Edit option should appear below it’s title. Click Quick Edit.
4. In the Quick Edit menu that appears, check the box next to Make This Post Sticky.
5. Click on Update Post, and you’re done.
The post you just edited will now be stuck to the top of your home page. All future posts will appear under this one. You can make more than one post sticky if you like. The sticky posts will be placed in chronological order, with all future posts placed beneath them. One thing to note is that making posts sticky has no effect on your category pages. So if you have an Events category page, all of the posts on that page will still be displayed in chronological order.

Genius! I always wondered how to do that!
