You should make yourself a few "fake" accounts on your own website and then get to posting. Everything now is from AdamCanady which gives the impression that it's just you (which it is ). If It was coming from a randomized set of usernames, it would give the impression of a lively community.
Reddit did it, and ever since then I'm pretty sure it's considered acceptable by the HN community and others.

Thanks habosa! I was considering doing that, but it looks like some HN folks have submitted a few articles already. Maybe it could take off?
That's how Reddit (and probably every link site) started as well.
