Is this normal, i posted a story to shoutwire 10 days ago which made front page, it then faded away after a day or 2, but ive just checked again and its once again on the front page http://www.shoutwire.com/ (link for newbies )
No it's based on votes, not sure exactly how their system works. I've had a dozen articles on front page and once they fell off they never came back.
ShoutWire is acting funny the last 36 hours ... the frontpage was only showing their editorial. Also, it seems that not just votes are a factor in the front page placement, but comments too.
never mind, after further investigation i noticed i had a filter on so it showed me latest frontpage stories from a certain category. a well known side-effect of constant lack of sleep
Yes, I figured out too that the front page articles were due to filters I had ... strange -thanks for the clarification just-4-teens.
