  Sometimes, more like a lot of the time, I need to keep an Admin message at the top. It would be nice to make it 'sticky".

  If you mean have it at the tops of all pages, you could adjust your theme so the center blocks display on all pages.
  
  Otherwise, it's just a matter of sorting your blocks in the Admin->Blocks, or if you have multiple admin messages, go in to edit the one you want at the top and select the option "Change start date to today"...

  I'm sorry for not being more succinct. I'm referring to a case where you have multiple admin messages and you want one (or more) to "stick" at the top regardless of how many additional admin messages you add or when. Changing the start day doesn't cut it as it means going back, opening each admin message (careful not to disturb the order you want to keep them in) and modifying each one each time you add another admin message.

  I assumed that you could just select the one you want to be sticky, go in and edit it to change the start day to today - whereby the Admin messages are arranged from newest to oldest...

  Thanks Nate,
  
  Never doubted you...not even for a minute! Just thought I'd toss in my 2 cents worth to the wish list. Isn't that what this forum is all about?

  I was going to ask this question a while back - the problem is... a lot of my admin messages are custom HTML messages, because I don't really like the format that they are put in - so i leave the "title" blank. What ends up happening is that after adding and deleting a bunch of admin messages, you can only identify them by "number," and things start to get confusing.
  
  What I did to solve this problem was create a new HTML block and bump it up above the admin messages. Administration -> Blocks -> New Block (Make it a Core/HTML block), and then go back to Administration -> Blocks and move it up above the Admin Messages block. Then you have one block that's "Sticky" and easier to edit than searching through oodles of admin messages.
  
  I have a similar question (i could open up a new post for this, but maybe someone here can help me) - how do you get a block to be "sticky" at the bottom of the page? I want to put links to other sites at the bottom of my index page (and not in the "footer" through the Administration->Settings area), and I want them to be in a block that is BELOW the articles. Articles aren't listed in the "Blocks" area, and I can't push anything beneath them.

  The easiest thing, if the links, etc.. weren't to change much would be to edit the themefooter() portion of your theme and place the appropriate HTML in the "center" cell of your layout. It would then appear after the stories and module output on every page.
  
  If you wanted a block down there that you could edit from the blocks menu, you could place code in the themefooter to manually call that block (deactivate the block so it doesn't appear twice). See this post for an idea of what I mean.
