I had demonstrated to clients how to use sticky posts previously on projects-- however I found that website owners were using multiple sticky posts simultaneously and I felt it started to defeat the purpose to highlight a "special" feature.

More recently, for projects where conductor plugin is already activated to control multiple display areas, I find that it is easier to single out a post and show it in the top of the page or area of posts with a different format than the remaining ones. Serves a similar purpose.

I look forward to reading your upcoming article about creatively using the sticky post option.
