I as well don't believe the front page is as important as it is thought to be by some.
I may be new to this site, but I can say that it is perceived to be a popularity contest. I'm quite offended by that as a member of this site. I believe we are all here for the same reason, the search of more knowledge of the thing that brings us all together. Not so important is the popularity of the posts. I'm not here to worry about weather or not I'm popular as a programmer, and or poster. No, I'm here to learn. The Voting/Experience system is just an added incentive to come back and learn more. Same with seeing my post on the front page.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
