It should be obvious there's a wide range here. On one end there's content that absolutely belongs on HN but nobody would ever find unless its self posted (the non-regular blogger who writes a great essay). At the other end is someone just trying to promote their latest blog post, even though their last 40 posts to HN didn't get any love. How to get the good end only?

> How to get the good end only? If you genuinely believe your blog post is HN worthy, post it. If HN deems it HN-worthy, it'll end up on the home page and, hopefully, spark a good discussion. Unfortunately, HN doesn't always agree with us on what is HN-worthy ;-) but that's what life in a community looks like.
