i vote for blogging it, and NOT posting a link to that blog on HN.

  Why ? The subject is a switch from the PHP environment to Django/python, after asking a lot of questions here regarding this subject I figured I would give something back for all the help I got (including unsolicited emails with great advice).

    wow, i got downvoted :) sorry i didn't reply earlier. for some reason, i thought there was some (un)written rule of not linking to your own stuff, like on metafilter and other sites. I checked the HN guidelines again and didn't see any such rule. That mix-up was the reason for my "and DON'T post it to HN" line. Sorry for the snark, and maybe just post it with a small intro text in the HN post?

      I don't think there's a rule, written or not... it's just the mob mentality towards self promotion can be pretty brutal sometimes, and people on HN generally don't like that. Get some traction on your blog post, and hope someone else posts it around HN.
