_{[Destructoid lets you write blogs on whatever subject you want! The best community authored blogs get promoted and this regular round-up lets you see everything that hit the front page from the previous month.]}

Good community blogs get fapped (voted up) and mentioned on the regular Community Highlights feature. The best blogs get promoted, whether for our Monthly Musing series or just being awesome on its own. For January's Musing theme, The Future, we wanted to hear about the bad things games allow you to do. Here's all the Community authored Musings that got promoted:

• Digital Distribution -- Pedrovay2003 
• Why Epic Mickey May Be the Most Important Game of 2010 -- Gatorsax2010 
• Demanding More From the Voices of Videogames -- Kauza 
• Still What It Used to Be -- Nekobun 
• The Winning Formula -- Kraid 
• The Year is 2029... -- Elsa 
• Human Controlled Gaming -- RenegadePanda 
• Overdoing the Over the Top -- AwesomeExMachina 
• The Silent Protagonist Will Win -- The Silent Protagonist 
• The Legend of the Future: A Link to the Past -- Lucas Says 
• Thrown to the Wolves -- Frohike

Hit the break to see the list of other promoted blogs and to see how you can get on the front page of Destructoid yourself!

Here are the non-Musing promotions:

• What Wii Gaming is Like For Me -- Tubatic 
• The iRock: Technology At It's Finest -- Enkido 
• Preview: Aliens vs Predator (Single Player Campaign) -- Anus McPhanus 
• Preview: Aliens vs Predator (Multiplayer Campaign) -- Justice
• Mass Effect, Metal Gear, Moon Unit, and more: An interview with Jennifer Hale -- Kauza

Of note from all the promoted stories last month are Beyamor's iRock Future, which was followed up by Enikido's hands-on with the iRock,  megaStryke's take on the death of the industry, Elsa's take of gaming in the future and Kauza's post on voice actors in gaming (which because of that blog, he was able to interview Jennifer Hale.)

The blog that got the most attention last month was sandorasbox's take on how games still aren't art. It got a lot of heated debate and even Gearbox Software's Creative Director, Mikey Neuman, came by to weigh-in on the subject.

Want to be promoted? Well then go to the Community Blogs page and write something up! Be sure to check out this month's Monthly Musing theme, The Future, for a chance to make it on the front page. If it's good, then it could possibly get promoted!
