Description

Changes the wording from "Stick to the Front Page" to "Stick to the top".

How has this been tested?

This is only a change of text which occurs once and is very minor, so it doesn't require any special testing.

Screenshots

This is the string which will be changed.

Reasoning

See Automattic/wp-calypso#29735 and Automattic/wp-calypso#28125. This quote from the PR over at Calypso effectively summarises the reasoning for the change:

Yes, "Stick to the top" is more clear, since a user's blog isn't always on the front page.

Checklist:

As this is just a change in text, it's a relatively safe change.

One might ask: stick to the top of what?

That's a fair shout, what about Stick to the top of the posts page instead? Personally though, I feel it's a bit long & wordy though, and would be inconsistent with Calypso in terms of the suggestion given in both the issue and the PR there. It also wouldn't mention that sticky posts stick to the Archives as well, but including that definitely seems too excessive.

"Stick to the top of the blog" seems like a good balance between clear and short. I agree that "Stick to the top" with nothing else lacks important context about what exactly will happen when I check the box.
