Transmogrified - Sticky/Welcome post

Once upon a time, way back on LJ, there was a way to put a permanent welcome/sticky post on Transmogrified. It has been years since I've tried working with this style, and any links/mems/info I had on how to do that have been lost to the sands of time. I tried porting an old layout layer, but the headaches induced by that made it not worth the effort.

Does anyone know if it's possible and/or how to code a sticky post into Transmogrified with DW's core? I'd rather not have to port any LJ styles, and I'm not comfortable enough with layout/theme layers to write the code myself, but I can c/p or modify for my needs if I have the pieces.

Oh, so is it possible now to have a custom text module? Because the last time I looked there wasn't one. I would be interested in using it to place some links.

As for the sticky post, probably the easiest way is to set the date far enough in the future that the entry always stays at the top.

it is! go into customise > modules and select the ticky box for custom text and where you want it. save changes, then go to > text and expand the options menu. type, save and voila!
