How Does Stuff Get on the Front Page?

There are always a handful of authors at BlueNC with special administrative privileges that allow them to decide whether or not a blog post (or a calendar event or a poll, you name it) goes on the front page. Not surprisingly, most of what these authors write ends up on the front page! These authors can also promote other posts, and frequently do so when they feel like something that isn't on the front page deserves a wider audience.
