I personally think that a blog post as an extended Ask HN is a reasonable way to go. I've considered it myself. This is a fine line. I can see self-posting as the way to spam, especially for opinion pieces. People who regularly blog shouldn't self-post.
That said, I think yours falls within the spirit of Ask HN. Others considering doing so should contribute more before such a post to get a feel for what works an what doesn't.

I think a better rough policy there is people who regularly blog shouldnt self-post every story :D One reason I like HN is the community doesnt seem to care much about shameless self promotion or casual self posting so long as it is interesting :D
