   Is it possible to choose whether show the post on main page or not while writting new post?

   Thanks

   Could use the "Stick this post to the front page" option in the Visibility section of the Publish module when writing/editing a post.

   How can I use this function for what I asked? Both sticked and unsticked posts goes on main page automaticaly.
   Could you explain what you mean?

   The initial question seemed to imply that you have a static front page, and you wanted to display the post. Do you want the opposite, that is, not show the post?

   To hide a post from the main loop, you can assign it to a special category, then skip that category in the loop

   No I have standard front page and all posts written in this or that category goes on main page as well. But there are some posts which I want to exclude from main page... I know how to exclude category from main page but these post aren't only in one particular category so I can't exclude the whole category... I want to exclude only several posts.

   Changing the code every day after publishing the post is rather uncomfortable... There must be some simple plugin which adds checkbox in new posts writting page to choose whether show the post on main page or not...

   I had a similar question. Someone gave me this tip http://wordpress.org/support/topic/223399?replies=4

   You could make a category which is excluded from the main page and then just assign the posts to that category when you don't want them to go to the front page.

   This information is really helpful but as I said above I don't want to prevent the whole category from showing up on main page...

    levani01,

    maybe this is your solution, by using custom fields!
