## Description

Tag Sticky Post allows you to mark a post to be displayed – or stuck – to the top
of each archive page for the specified
 tag.

Tag Sticky Post…

 * Allows you to select which tag in which to stick a post
 * Will display the post on the top of the first page of the archive just like WordPress’
   sticky posts
 * Will only allow you to stick a single post per tag
 * Displays whether or not a post is stuck in a tag on the Post Edit dashboard
 * Provides light styling that should look good in most themes
 * Is available on each post editor page
 * Is fully localized and ready for translation
 * Includes a custom.css file so that you can style the plugin to look however you
   want

### Development Information

Tag Sticky Post was built with…

 * The desire to perform the same functionality on my own blog
 * [WordPress Coding Standards](https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Coding_Standards)
 * Native WordPress API’s (specifically the [Plugin API](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API))
 * [CodeKit](http://incident57.com/codekit/) using [LESS](http://lesscss.org/), 
   [JSLint](http://www.jslint.com/lint.html), and [jQuery](http://jquery.com/)
 * Some advice from [Konstantin Kovshenin](http://twitter.com/kovshenin) on query
   optimization
 * Respect for WordPress bloggers everywhere 🙂
