I think this should have been a link in the Open Thread to the post on your own blog, not a crosspost.

I see someone has stated their disagreement with a downvote, but let me state mine with a comment instead: I think this post is too valuable to be hidden in the Open Thread.

Could you make explicit your argument and reasoning for the high value of this post?

Where do you see that, exactly?

Presumably Alicorn's comment was at -1 for a bit.

I thought the recommendations here might be a lot more highly technical than those for the general audience on my blog. Also, I had a worried feeling that linking would decrease engagement and make it look like I was just being self-promotional (since I get paid based on pageviews).
