Creating a community of users, each with their own blogs. All user-created content should post on their blog. But depending on how they categorize their blog post, it should also show up on the front page of the site. For instance, a "Front Page Topic" taxonomy of several options - should the user pick any of those options, the content will be on the front page (and also their blog). If they don't, it will show up on only their blog.

Is there a way to do this through modules?

I don't want to give these users "administer node" permissions - would rather it be that picking from that category would automatically promote the node.

(The other option is for blog postings to be unpromoted, and also to let them create "stories" of that Topic category to be promoted, but then I don't think the stories would show up on the user's blog page.)

perhaps it's instead best to create a page that views all posts of those particular taxonomies, and then just edit my settings to make that the new "front page" ?

Doing it through the views module doesn't really seem to work, either - I feel like I'm missing something easy here.

Does anyone know how to allow a user to designate content to be promoted without giving them administrative access?

Why doesn't it work?

1. in 'Filters', choose 'Taxonomy: Terms for Front Page Topic'
2. in 'Sort Criteria', choose 'Node: Creation Time'
