Is there a way to unpromote?

A couple of times I've inadvertantly posted a diary entry to the front page.  [It would be better if the default were to leave the box unchecked, but I digress.]

Once I do that, is there any way to un-promote?  I couldn't find one, and resorted to deleting the diary entry and reposting.

Suggestions?

I don't think so (0.00 / 0)
I've wondered that too, but I don't see a mechanism for it.

Ah well, thanks anyhow (n/t) (0.00 / 0)

Yes. Here's How (4.00 / 2)
For anyone who can promote things in the first place.

When a diary has been promoted, the options underneath it bccome:

[edit diary]
[modify promotion]
[subject promote]

If you click on "modify promotion", the two buttons at the bottom are "save" and "demote."  

Guess which one you should use.

That seems to work if a diary was originally written as a non-front-page diary and then promoted.

On the diaries where I had originally selected the "post to front page" checkbox when I first posted it, I don't have a "modify promotion".

You Should Be Able To Re-Promote It, Then Demote It (0.00 / 0)
I think I've actually done that once.  But at the very least, it make sense, and is worth checking out.

I'll try that next time I mess up.  Thanks!
