Hide a Post but have a Link to it in Sidebar

I want to hide a Post so it does not show up in my posts or blog. But I want a link to it in the sidebar.
If I make it private, the link doesn't work. Yes I can do this with a page (hide the page in Atahualpa options), but it needs to be a Post, not a Page. How do I do this? I don't see an option to hide a Post in Atahualpa.

Thanks

you could put some code in 'The LOOP' to check for that post ID and just skip it. This shouldn't effect any of the widgets, just the center column

Thanks for the reply. I really don't know what code to put there.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Norm

you would need something like this to the begining of ATO->Style & edit CENTER COLUMN->The LOOP

HTML Code:

<?php if ( (get_the_ID()!= '106') or

         ((!is_front_page()) and  (get_the_ID() == '106') ) 

      ) { ?>

and

HTML Code:

<?php } ?>

to the end.

Make sure to change '106' to the post id you are refering to.

There is a plugin called Hide Post. I wonder if you could use that, and then just make a text link in the sidebar to the post.

Will try that first. Sounds easier.
Thanks!
