making my first post a description of the blog

Is there any way to have my initial post, that kind of explains what my blog is, say on the front page in #1 position? I already have it “sticky” but also have a video “sticky” and would like that to stay in #2 position. The video way posted just after the initial post so it pops up in #1 position and I guess I could change the post dates but not sure if that’s what I want to do. Also, I am doing a “10 reasons….” series and I would like them to stay in order ie. #1 on top followed by #2, followed by #3, etc instead of the new post taking over top position (#4,#3,#2 and then #1)
