Blogs are frequently promoted to the front page [0] by the Faculty members. These blogs are chosen to demonstrate to bloggers and guests the exemplary style of blogging is on this site. They are listed in chronological order, with the most recent blog at the top of the page. While each moderator has a different set of criteria for promoting blogs to the front page, the following are general requirements to be promoted:

• The blog must contain correct grammar and spelling. If there are minor errors, the moderator reserves the right to edit the blog before promoting it. The blog must also not be copied and pasted from another source, or plagiarized.

• The blog must promote some progressive principle (Broad Prosperity, Shared Responsibility, Effective Government, Personal Freedom, Better Future).

• The blog should be unique in some way. If the blog is one of many written on the same topic, it should look at the topic from a different view than the others.

• The blog should encourage discussion and/or be very informative.

Generally blogs should be of a decent length; that is, they are long enough to explain your point of view, but short enough to keep our interest (250 words is a good limit to hold to). The Faculty members try to keep the front page as fresh as possible, but that does not always happen. The quality and 'freshness' of the front page depends on the blogs that people are writing. If there are no good blogs, the front page will remain static.

Please note that if you edit your blog entry after it has been placed on the front page, it will automatically be removed from the Front Page. We have no idea why this is, but if you happen to notice this, just send a Faculty member a private message explaining the situation and we will try to re-promote your blog entry again.
