User blog comment:Ducksoup/Sprucing up your Main Page: Introducing the Hero Image/@comment-5558012-20150228013748

I'm confused as to how this is replacing Special:Promote. Is this just another image on your main page (ie. you are promoting your own wiki on your main page)? If so, that's a stupid idea. If not, the example above is a very poor one. Is there no longer a description for users to read? Better clarification would be nice.
