Quick a dirty suggestions from an experienced blogger:
- Migrate to WordPress.org and/or get a nice looking theme + logo design
- Add a photo to compliment each post
- Add sub-headers and bold important thoughts
- Start a Twitter profile to promote posts and additionally submit posts to Stumble, Mixx, Sphinn, HN, Digg, Facebook, etc.
- Prominently feature email newsletter and RSS subscription options
- Add a short biography of yourself below each post + create an About page and Contact page
- Implement links to related posts to increase stickiness (Wibiya.com blog toolbar can help here as well)
- Utilize your blog footer to feature additional content
- lovskogen 16y agoNo. He wants his own personal blog, on par with his comments here at HN, but with some active readers. Most of this tips will turn his blog into a neon whore house of a blog. Just write good stuff, and let people comment. Make friends with people and share your writings with like-minded people.
- DotSauce 16y agoI totally mis-read the second paragraph of his question. So yea... If you're NOT looking to gain business and drive traffic, then by all means don't listen to my advice. Sorry!
