I'm expecting to be able to sort the entries by score, but can't obviously see how to do that. Do I need to post an entry before I get that option? I've spent a total of around 12 hours in NY in my life, so don't really feel qualified :-)

A few minor tweaks to the visual design would make a big difference, but I'm sure you know that.

Longer term: maybe widgetise so people can put it on blogs etc.

There are lots and lots of little visual tweaks that will be done to this as soon as I can con some more front-end time from simcop.

No ordering is yet implemented based on rating, everything is displayed based on the created date. Any posts which reach -10 are deleted. I figured that would be a good anti-spam method, and it seems like some spamming things are hitting that.

Once there is more data some "Best of" and such sort links will most likely be added =)

Sounds good. It might be worth thinking about whether something closer to the HN/Reddit/Digg model might make more sense, i.e. 'Best of' being the default option, possibly with tweaks so that new posts get enough exposure to be upvoted.
