How does it work?

If enough people think it's Awesome, it will make it to the front page, where everyone can see it. Lots of new submissions will hit the front page each day, so be sure to check back often for new material.

Why hasn't my submission hit the front page?

A few factors determine whether a submission will reach the front page. While we won't reveal all of them, some of the factors are the number of "Awesome" ratings, the number of "Bogus" ratings, the number of submissions within the past twenty four hours, and the age of the submission. Keep trying and eventually your realization will make the front page.
