# Feature Post?

 * On a blog page, I have a few sticky posts. However, every time I upload a new
   post, I want it to show on the top of the page, like a feature post. How can 
   I do that?

 * Use a loop like:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $args=array(
         'post_type' => 'post',
         'post_status' => 'publish',
         'posts_per_page' => 1,
         'caller_get_posts'=> 1
       );
       $my_query = null;
       $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
       if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {
         echo 'Featured Post';
         while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>
           <p><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></p>
           <?php
         endwhile;
       }
       wp_reset_query();  // Restore global post data stomped by the_post().
       ?>
       ```

 * Hmm… Where should I place that? I tried putting it in page.php and replacing 
   it with
 *     ```
       if (have_posts()):
                while (have_posts()):
                 the_post();
                 mystique_page();
                endwhile;
       ```
   
 * But nothing changed.

 * Put that in whatever template is displaying your posts.

 * Ok, I placed it in Index.php and it worked.
 * However, that code only displays a link to the post.
 * Is there any way I can display the entire/part of the post, and have it identify
   as a feature post? Also, I am using Mistique, so how can I make it look like 
   the other posts? I know this is a specific question, so if someone could point
   me in the right direction that would be great!
 * Specific code is nicer! =]
 * Thanks

 * Put the [template tag](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags), [the_content()](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content),
   or [Template_Tags/the_excerpt|the_excerpt()]], just before the `endwhile`.
