THe problem is that I want to keep 5-6 links to posts (on my homepage) permantely there, no matter how much time goes by.

Is there a way of doing this?

Thanks

Probably the easiest way of doing this is to create a new category which you can call "permanent" or "sticky" or "important" or whatever you choose. Add this as the category to the posts that you want to list permanently.

Then in the place on your template that you want the links to show up, use this code. I'm using "permanent" as the name of the category:



If you're using MT 2.5 or higher, you can replace MTEntryLink with MTEntryPermalink.

Quick and dirty method: post-date them to sometime in the next decade, e.g., 12/31/2020. Then they will always appear first.

Just in case you still didn't get the answer you are looking for - Are you looking to just make sure that you always have posts on the index, not necessarily the same ones?  Then you just need to add to your MTEntries tag like this:

That will always show the last 6 entries

I wish there was something like <MTEntries EntryID='100'> for this situation. That way, one does not need to foul with the dates of entries. It is not overly hard to see entry IDs.

Actually cj69, David just came out with a plugin that would do what you are describing - check out MTEntry.

Ooh, that's a confusing name.  :p

For me anyway. Heh.

Oh my goodness, and how perfectly timed!

would this work like the option greymatter has, where you can keep an entry on top?

inez: yes it would you would just create another MTEntries Container above the main one with the MTEntryID tag inside it.
