 * I have the following in my template:
 * `<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>`
 * How do I incorporate post_class into this?

 * Yes, I have looked through there. I am not a coder, and have tried inserting 
   it in several different ways, to no avail. The closest I got was just
 *     ```
       <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
           <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       ```
   
 * Which formats ALL of the posts like the sticky post is supposed to be.

 * Try:
 *     ```
       <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <div id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
       ```
