If you have any particularly interesting and specific pages on

the optimal time. (Furthermore, if you authored it, you should
a comment that explains why you made it and offering to answer
questions– I have found this can turn a regular post into a
frontpage post.)
I wanted to add: What I do is I take a post that could be
submitted
to Hacker News, then I am an "optimizing compiler" for it. I post
at 3pm on Monday through Thursday, add comments, tune the
submission
title, and various small HN-specific optimizations– my
submissions have
been on its frontpage 20 times, I know what I'm doing.
