Oh, thought of another important one to add. HN post titles have to (mostly) match the title of the page/article. Think carefully how you title your posts so that they are descriptive enough about the post. Short titles, like "why we are awesome", with no lead or indication of topic do very badly. For GitHub repositories, include a description of the tool along with the name of it in the readme title. Your page title is your HN post title.
