Handy tip: when writing a multi-post blog series, link to the previous and next parts from within each post. Then if, for example, someone submits a post from the middle of the series to a site like HN, visitors to your site will be able to

Sorry I misunderstood what you were after. Yes. It's one of the most annoying features of HN. I have to mentally carry my karma score in my head and then, if I note that it's gone up or down a few points, I know one of my comments

Here's another, more regional one: why do so many homes in England not have a lock on the bathroom door? Having been born & raised in another part of the UK. I never saw a bathroom without a lock on the door til I moved to England.
