I've submitted stuff from my blog before (maybe 1 in 10 of my posts) but this week someone submitted one of my posts for me for the first time (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=128805). It was actually lifted from a comment I made on YCNews that got some votes so I thought it would be a decent blog post. Nothing special so I didn't submit it. Well, it hit the front page of Reddit and YCNews and it my most viewed post ever (over 4K in one day)!

I felt a little cheesy submitting my posts before, but since no one knew I had a blog, I figured it was worthwhile (turned out well, four posts with over 3K views compared with ~200 for the other posts). Now that I've had others submit me, if I write something that I want to submit, I'll give it a few days to see if anyone else does it for me.

And spydez, I replied to all of the comments!
