Only 1 Sticky Post

    I’m trying to use WordPress as a CMS and blog combined for a charity. I’ve been fairly successful creating my template so far, but have come across a stumbling block that I can’t seem to get over…

    I’ve used a sticky post to head up each of the categories – the aim being to describe what is in that category. On my front page I only want to show posts from my news or home category, again I have a sticky to head this up. Unfortunately it shows all of the stickies. How do I show only the one sticky, from the correct category? I’ve been playing with query_posts without success.

    Any help or alternative approaches would be appreciated – I did think about using custom meta data in the post, but then didn’t know how to get this up and running and also sorted correctly.

    To top it all off, I’ve just noticed that using
    query_posts( $query_string.'posts_per_page=3' );
    doesn’t limit it to 3 posts – it limits it to 3 posts + stickies. I’m going to be having nightmares about them tonight!
