Elise at Learning Movable Type (a weblog I recommend whole-heartedly for beginners of the Movable Type Publishing Platform) writes how to keep a post sticky at the top in MT. She finds 5 ways to do it, but each involve either manually editing the template code and installing plugins or changing the date of the weblog entry so that it is the "newest". While it's cool that MT has multiple ways to do it, 4 of them are not for those who are wary of (or don't have time for) learning to edit template code in a textarea. Drupal does this easily and quickly: if you want a node (Drupal-speak for "weblog entry on steroids", because you can have many types of content with different permissions settings for each) to appear at the top of the page, you simply check the "Promoted to front page" check box and check the "Static on front page" check box. That way, the date that the item was published on is maintained, and there is no template code (PHP or otherwise) to learn. In other words, it is something that is easy for non-technical people to do, so they can focus on the design and content of their site.
