Mod note: this post is personal rather than frontpage because event/course/workshop/org… announcements are generally personal, even if the content of the course, say, is pretty clearly relevant to the frontpage (as in this case)
The general rule is roughly “if you write a frontpage post which has an announcement at the end, that can be frontpaged”. So for example, if you wrote a post about the vision for Online Learning, that included as a relatively small part the course announcement, that would probably work.
By the way, posts are all personal until mods process them, usually around twice a day. So that’s another reason you might sometimes see posts landing on personal for awhile.

Thanks! We were wondering about that. Is there any way we could be changed to the frontpage category?

Got it! Good to know.
