I would like to comment on my own blog for the time being. Well actually, my experience blogging. It is so funny because at the very start I was excited to blog. I felt like I was on here all day, or at least checking to see if people had left messages. And then after a few weeks it hit me. Part of making your blog successful is how you market it. That means sending the link to friends (and in particular, blog enthusiasts) and keeping up with the comments that are posted there. However just like the real world, your blog will NEVER be uber-successful unless you yourself connect the network to your blog. You have to go to other bloggers/blogspotters' pages and leave comments. Once they see that comment, they are normally curious to find out just who sent that comment. So they will visit you. And then even if they don't like what they read (or see), they feel compelled to say something to you because you took the time to comment on them. So the network begins. Did I mention I am a terrible correspondent?
