Some people will vote you down for posting something that’s mostly just a link. Personally, I like good, relevant links.
How did you post this so as not to display its vote total?
Votes are displayed only after a post is an hour or so old. Not sure what the actual value is. They are still shown on the sidebar.
My understanding is that new posts don’t show their vote totals right away, to help prevent snowball effects.
A link with an example from the article is much better than mere link. It gives you a good estimate of whether you want to read the article before you click the link.
