Promoting content to front page

Because of the specificity of the Bluemasters theme, the default Drupal front-page operation has been replaced by page--front.tpl.php file. This file defines a layout only with regions which may place any created block you want.

In any case if you want to get promoted articles to the front-page, you should print content somewhere in the file page--front.tpl.php using the following code,

<?php print render($page['content']); ?>

The issue in this case is that the Bluemasters theme does not provide this feature so you'll need extra style code.

A better idea is to create a view block (using views) which will selectpromoted to front-page articles and finally expose this block to a home region.
