   I have this code which shows one stick post for home page:
   <?php
   $sticky = get_option('sticky_posts');
   rsort( $sticky );
   $sticky = array_slice( $sticky, 1);
   query_posts( array( 'post__in' => $sticky, 'caller_get_posts' => 1 ) );
   ?>
   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <div class="sticky-post-block">
   ...show sticky post ...
   </div>
   <?php endwhile; ?>

   <?php } ?>

   <?php
   $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   $sticky = get_option('sticky_posts');
   $args=array(
   'caller_get_posts'=>1,
   'post__not_in'=> $sticky,
   'paged'=>$paged,
   );
   query_posts($args);
   ?>

   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   ...exclude sticky post, show 4 latest posts ...

   What I want to achieve here, is if no sticky post selected at all, the first query which pulls the stick posts return nothing.

   Right now, the first query pulls the latest 4 posts and this makes it show a duplication of 4 posts.

   I found this code in Codex but I don't how to go about "inserting my stuff" to stop sticky post and the duplication from showing in the "sticky-post-block."

   quote:
   To return just the first sticky post or nothing:

   $sticky = get_option('sticky_posts');
   $args = array(
   'posts_per_page' => 1,
   'post__in' => $sticky,
   'caller_get_posts' => 1
   );
   query_posts($args);
   if($sticky[0]) {
   // insert here your stuff...
   }

   Just put in a check for is_sticky() like this:

   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
      <?php if (!is_sticky()) continue; ?>
      <div class="sticky-post-block">
      ...show sticky post ...
      </div>
   <?php endwhile; ?>
