Front Page - Removed "Welcome to Drupal..." post, but now need it back

Well not the post, but I've "promoted to front" one story that I need to show, and it's not :) Whatever I did to remove it happened months ago. I tried removing some code, but to no avail. Here's the code in the "content" section of the page.tpl.php file:

<div id="content">	
		<?php if (!$is_front && !$is_registration && !$is_travel && ($is_schedule || $is_thursday || $is_friday || $is_wednesday || $is_node)): ?>
			
		
			<div class="schedule_links">
				<div class="link_days">
					<a href="/wednesday">Wednesday</a>
					<a href="/thursday">Thursday</a>
					<a href="/friday">Friday</a>
				</div>
			</div>
		<?php endif; ?>
		
		<?php if (!$is_front && !$is_registration && !$is_travel && ($is_thursday || $is_friday || $is_wednesday || $is_node)): ?>
			<script>
				$(document).ready(function() {
					$('#Schedule a').addClass("active");
				});
			</script>
		<?php endif; ?>
<?php print $ticker?>
<!-- **************** Front Slideshow **************** -->	
			<?php if ($is_front): ?>
				<div class="one">
					<div class="main_view"><!-- Slideshow Start -->
