    I’m a bit stuck! I’m trying to show sticky posts before a load of other posts on my homepage. I’ve been using this code:

    $sticky = get_option( ‘sticky_posts’ );
    query_posts(‘$sticky&cat=5&posts_per_page=5&orderby=rand&order=DESC’);

    But it doesn’t work!

    Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think you have a couple of problems.

    First, $sticky will only contain a comma separated list of post IDs, so it cannot be used in the query as you have it coded.

    Second, I believe (but not 100% sure) that the orderby=rand will override the use of sticky posts.

    You probably will need to have two separate loops to accomplish what you want.
