“It’s always nice to learn something new…”

Seems I have been saying that a lot lately.

The latest is related to how to use WordPress. I had been making all of my posts “stick” to the home page by checking off “Stick this post to the front page” under the “Visibility” section in the Publish action box. I think I did this because when I first started using WordPress, the order of the posts were not correct (older posts were showing first).

In any case, it turns out the “sticky” button was causing more problems in that it was showing all of my posts on the home page despite the fact that I had the settings telling WordPress to only show the last five posts. Removing the “sticky” switch on all of my posts fixed this.

So the new thing I learned today…”Sticky buttons and sticky posts, make a mess!”
