How does post make it to broader wordpress.com site?

    What factors decide which posts get shown in the categories on wordpress.com? Is it view driven, human edited, or a combination?

    In April one of my posts was one of two highlighted under the Cars category. Yesterday and today I posted a story that has more hits, but is not shown.

    Thanks in advance!

    (Personally, I think it has something to do with the moon, the tide, the colour purple, alchemy and the oracle in Delphi- but I am not sure about the exact combination needed.)

    It’s a combo of view driven and some algorithm that WP.com designed and won’t tell us. However, to be Featured Blog on one of the category/tag pages, I think you just have to use that category/tag more than anyone else.

    Raincoaster — interesting! That probably works against me, since my blog talks about three things — tech PR, wine and my cars. Back in April a car post was featured on the site, and wondering how to get back there… maybe I need to watch the tags I use.

    Thanks much.
