If you're concerned about it, you could do a user search
on yourself, sort by reputation, and then compare your
higest-rated nodes with your lowest-rated nodes, which
might let you pick out a trend of which kinds of nodes
get voted up and which don't. It may not just be about
content, but also clarity and tone, in some cases,
though solid content will tend to salvage poor tone,
at least somewhat. I looked through some of your
lowest-rated nodes, though, and most of them didn't
seem too bad to me. (There was one that was pretty
much content-free, something about ignoring a previous
node; that sort of thing is best put in an update to
the same node, IMO. But that's just one node; nearly
all of us have one or two bloopers like that.)
I wouldn't worry too much about minor negative nodes.
The way the voting system works, as best I understand
it, it takes more than ten -5 nodes to negate the
impact on your XP of a single +50 node. Besides,
XP have no materiel value.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
