I disagree as well. If the post is lame or not interesting it won't be upvoted unless you have a legion of "gamers" at your disposal. The vast majority do not, unless you put PG, facebook, or google in the title :).

Especially for new blogs, how are people supposed to know about them and submit the posts in the first place? I would have been annoyed if it had taken me much longer to find out about Sid Savara's blog (he's self submitted a few times).

Checking out that book though - thanks.
