I'm not a big fan of placing arbitrary limits on what you can or can't promote, but I would probably care more if I knew what promoting did.

Posts that aren't promoted (like this one [edit] -- um, not any more) don't show up on the front page, only in the "new" list and on the sidebar.

Just to avoid confusing Nominull... This post has now been "promoted", so it does now appear on the front-page, and in RSS feeds.

You can get an RSS feed off the "new" page if you want to skip the whole promotion thing entirely.

promoting makes the headline and above-the-fold text visible from www.lesswrong.com/

And that can be done only by the admin (Eliezer)?

and Robin, but I think they're the only two.

What's promoting?

Seriously!
