2. After clicking Publish Post you will be directed to a new page, here click on Edit post. Like here :

3. Here on the edit post page at the left bottom click on Post Options and in the right bottom page change the date and time, till you want the post to remain sticky. This means that if you will publish any new post, it will come below the sticky post.

For eg. I have changed the post date from 11/3/09 to 11/30/09. Now the sticky post will remain at the top till 11/30/09 and after that, new posts will come at the top.

4. After changing the date and time, again click on Publish Post.

You may change this date from time-to-time to appear the sticky post on homepage. Just change this date to something newer than the recent one.
