Are you sure you don't have a goal? Even just improving yourself as a writer counts as a goal, and in that case you can't beat forcing yourself to blog once a day. Writing something publicly is sort of like launching your startup, the fact that it's out there where everyone can see it makes you work on quality.
As for specifics:
1. Why? Eventually readership may increase. Comments are what makes blogging worth it, until you get enough users that the comment section turns to shit.
2. Because a lot of people read on mobile devices over a 3g connection, not to mention it just looks much better.
3. Lame. Use them as categories. Helps readers when they're looking through your archives 2 years from now.
4. Perfectly fine. Name's essentially irrelevant, and campy humor isn't bad by any stretch.
5. Blog a lot. Don't stop. I did it every day for about 4 years, sometimes twice. Didn't turn me into Dickens, but I now am comfortable at least. I attribute most of my success in life to the communication skills I gained from it.
