Being on the homepage is most writer's wish. But that wish will become a reality after reading this. Here are 4 tips that will catapult your topics to the homepage

4) CHOOSE A KICKASS TITLE: The first thing people see in any write-up is the Title. A kickass Title entices people to read a topic even if the topic doesn't turn out to be interesting. An attractive Title can trigger readers' response as your title is a snapshot of what to expect in your thread. For example sething like '5 lies your teacher told you' is more catchy than 'Teachers can lie'. You feel me?

3) KEEP IT SHORT: I'll confess to you, once a topic is too long, I don't bother reading it at all, I just leave the thread and I'm sure a lot of people share the same views with me. Long topics tenda to look more like a sermon which screams BORING! Your aim is to get comments and not getting people running out of your thread.

2)AIM FOR A LARGE AUDIENCE: Here is the formula: LA+MC=HP where LA stands for large audience, MC for Many comments and HP is for HomePage. It will be easier for a topic about the president to hit frontpage(cos it appeals to a very large audience) than a topic like 'How to make a small room feel bigger'(cos it inly concerns small apartment owners)

1) GET POPULAR: I'll watch any Dicaprio's movie any day, any time barring what haters say because I know he's a great actor. Its also the same thing with writers. When you become popular in a field, its only natural for people to read your topic and drop a comment or two. And if the mods know you, what else is left? Your thread is already on its way to the homepage.
With these few points of mine, I hope I've been able to convince and not confuse you that you can write a topic that will make homepage. Peace.

Bonus
+ WRITE SOMETHING CONTROVERSIAL Hey, I don't mean something like 'Women are useless breed' or anything that's gonna cause dispute. But something that triggers different schools of thoughts will definately attract more comments as people will want to share their opinion. That's why topics like 'hot or not' or 'Who wore it better' make homepage. But be subtle, as you wouldn't wanna open your topic and view 8 pages of curses, abuses and insults.
