What's the community norm on cross posting? Suppose I have a couple of relatively short ideas I want to write about and post on my blog, but I also think the LW community might be interested (I do). I could post them as discussion posts here and on my blog, or just post them on my blog and links to them as discussion posts. I prefer the former, but is there a norm against it?

Thanks.

Its pretty common to do the first option, usually with a note and link letting people know upfront that its a cross-post.

If it's appropriate for LW then it's appropriate for LW, no matter where else it has been posted.
