I wonder how many people gave kudos to the post by mistake? I know I did and there's no way to remove the kudos you gave afterwards. User actions should be a click not a hover.
On closer inspection, the site doesn't check for duplicate kudos. Why don't we give him all the kudos he wants? Here's a quick python script I whipped up to dole them out. Customize to the blog post of your choosing, if you like. https://gist.github.com/2167738
When I have an idea, no matter how developed, I throw it into the ideas pane. This creates a physical scrapboard for organizing my thoughts. I work on ideas over time, and, when one of them becomes developed or good enough, I'll publish it and it'll move over into the published column. This is so important. I’ve been using SimpleNote to the same effect. I just handle the publishing part separately; I publish so rarel…

I do.
Drafts in Wordpress work quite well for this purpose. I just click "New Post", write in some temporary title and a short description in the body, then click "Save Draft". Viewing drafts is easy too. I find formatting to be the biggest annoyance in blogging, but I bet there's a markdown WP plugin for that which I should use. Actually I do like this, but not for the "ideas" feature. I like it for the simplicity and hip…
