Show HN: My new project is like HN meets NextDraft, for the WP community

Great idea, much needed.

My 2cents would be to put this statement: "Reader validated, curated WordPress news" somewhere on your home page. State immediately and explicitly why I should care about your website (provided I don't enter through the about page, like the link here).

That's a great point. I appreciate the advice. Will figure out a way to get that messaging in there.

Interesting idea. I think many will want to use this in an RSS reader. Because of that, I would suggest you place a link to your feed (http://poststat.us/feed/) somewhere on the page so others can find it easily.

What do you use for voting? A custom implementation?

It's a modified version of Pippin Williamson's "Love it pro" plugin. http://pippinsplugins.com/love-it-pro/

I had to extend it to handle comment voting.

Impressive, That works for my needs. :)
