Sticky post for frontpage

[willwade]

A while ago I was suggesting a sticky item for a frontpage display for hexo. To be honest it doesn't really work nicely with hexo (https://github.com/LouisBarranqueiro/hexo-theme-tranquilpeak/issues/304) - on closer inspection many of the static site generators are so heavily focused on blogs that doing this kind of thing is a fudge. However it does fit better with Hugo whose design principles are more (focused on this kind of flexibility)(http://gohugo.io/content/using-index-md/). TL;DR: I would like a way of choosing a single post (no "continue reading") as the frontpage matter.

Today i have no idea how to achieve that I have to check more on Hugo feature.

Because to be sticky you wanted a way to choose a single single post without continue reading but also to be always on top regardless it's publication date

~~I'll try and mock something up in my fork.~~

I'm an idiot. Its already doable with a _index.md file in your /content/ dir as noted here

Actually not quite. Do this:

• Add a _index_md file to your content (e.g. /posts/ )
• Note how now you don't get anything showing on the frontpage using tranquilpeak.

Need a little while to figure this out. My guess, as the docs suggest here is that we haven't got a way of displaying the {{ .Content }}

OK - I just remembered I would post to this and I haven't..

I now remember why - I'm being lazy:
