If you want front page radio button in backend of submiting articles be always on front page, then in administrator/components/com_content/controller.php instead of:


$lists['frontpage'] = JHTML::_('select.booleanlist', 'frontpage', '', $row->frontpage); 

Write:

if (!$edit) $row->frontpage = 1;
$lists['frontpage'] = JHTML::_('select.booleanlist', 'frontpage', '', $row->frontpage);

Taken from here.
