I agree it is is just content management software. But it tends to encourage a date-order approach. If you stick with the basic blog set-up more or less, then it's a bit like having a shop window and just sticking whatever stock comes in most recently at the front. So maybe now again you move something that's more important nearer to the front again. But, the bottom line is, you are not selling your stock/content as effectively as you might do if you positioned each item according to its value.

The problem with this crude method is that even if it was marked as such returning visitors may not see the new post(s) below. Maybe a more practical option would be having the site designed so that a side bar would list the top posts in order of prominence, controlled by the editors. “Though like all blogs the layout means there is little opportunity to give certain stories more prominence, or a longer ‘life’, regardless of their importance”
