I've just bottled a batch of porter, now i want to save the yeast cake to reuse in a couple weeks for a starter. Do i just scoop out the yeast cake into a sanitized jar and refridgerate?

Perhaps that sticky should be moved, or at least copied, to this forum?
That's a great idea! We had that thread long before we had this separate "yeast forum". I think it's appropriate in this forum.

ok, so prior to getting this link to the sticky I scooped out my yeast cake into a mason jar that had been cleaned. I then wrapped the jar in plastic wrap and placed in the fridge. Is this ok? It's kind of a practice run because i have a kolsch that im kegging next week, and i plan on pitching a new batch of wort directly on to the kolsch cake.

Yes, you should be just fine. I'd make a starter, though.
Some people just like reassurance, and I don't see anything wrong with that. Besides, if he'd done something wrong, he could make other plans right now.
