 * Hi I have all my posts assigned to a category, now I want to add another category
   called ‘Featured Posts’. I want to have one or two featured posts which always
   appear at the top on my blog’s home page.
 * So to do this I will also tick the ‘Featured Posts’ category for these posts,
   and then untick it when I don’t need them at the top anymore.
 * I also want WordPress to stop displaying them together with the rest of the other
   posts while they are also assigned to the Featured Posts category.
 * How do I do this?

 * Use [template tag](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags), [get_posts()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts),
   and [a loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop), to display your Featured Posts.
   Then change all your templates (e.g. archive.php) to exclude that category.
 * Simplest thing to do is to set as sticky posts (see Visibility module when writing
   post).
