Here are some more tips I'd like to pass on to aspiring bloggers:
1) Choose your web hosting service wisely. If a plan seems like a good deal, be aware that it probably can't handle the "Digg Effect".
2) Make it clear who your intended audience is, if it's a topic that has a specific audience, to prevent misunderstanding by other audiences.
3) Post articles frequently. The more the merrier. Trust me. Readers seem to gravitate toward frequently updated blogs.
4) Visit blogs on your blogroll daily (or whenever they have new articles) and comment. It encourages those bloggers to do likewise. It also encourages their readers to visit your blog.
5) Use a feed reader to see when your blogroll links have new articles. Don't forget to add their comment feeds. I recommend Google Reader because it saves feeds for several weeks.
6) Be leery of using widgets with pictures. They can slow your website to a crawl if they're hosted on a different server than your own.
7) Use HitTail for keywords and suggestions. It's free.
Use TheGoodBlogs widget. Your miniblog appears on other websites and will generate a small amount of traffic for you.
