This plugin is probably the most simple from the SM plugins collection. However, its usefulness and time saving features make it very powerful. Many themes and plugins use the “sticky” option in WordPress either to move a particular post above other posts, or to “feature” posts. An example is that a good deal of themes use “sticky” posts to populate a “featured posts” slider on the homepage of the blog. Quickly turn posts sticky status on and off with 1 click.
Features include:
<ul>
<li>uses builtin WordPress functions to reduce any possibilities of conflicts with other themes and plugins</li>
<li>a nice looking star icon uses AJAX upon click to immediately save your posts sticky status</li>
</ul>
Don’t forget to rate our plugin so we know how we are doing!

Honestly built the plugin and then didn't use it for a while. Had the need for it again, still works (wow!) Simple and elegant.
