Adding a Sticky Post

Oxley's sticky post feature can be used to highlight one or more articles at different times throughout the semester. Selecting a post as a "sticky post" maintains it at the top of the main blog page that is, by default, the site homepage.

If you choose to maintain multiple sticky posts, all sticky posts appear in reverse chronological order at the top of the page. Subsequent posts appear in reverse chronological order below the sticky post(s).
