Is there a problem with linking to your own blog?

Self promotion [of your own blog/site] is frowned upon I believe. We have SHOW HN: for when you want to show something off that you have done.
I think it's mainly to stop reporters at Gawker from linking to all their articles though ;)

Self promotion is not frowned upon. As long as the content is good it doesn't matter who submits it.

Right. People get their friends to link their blogs anyway, I see no difference in effect.

What is frowned upon is blogspam, rewriting somebody else's article and submitting your own version. Original content is always welcome.

It doesn't stop. Jen at Betabeat's Reddit-Gawker gawking junk has been on the front page for days.
