How to advertise my Blog and gain interested readers
-
I just posted my first real live Blog and so far am finding WordPress to be a great service with a great program. I hope to set up a new, permanant domain after Xmas to place it on but have two questions in the meantime.
1: On my live Blog page there is a white rectangular area on the right side above the archive dates that seems to be asking me to write somethin it it. What is this for?
2: I’ve added my Blog’s address and by-line into the sigs of all my e-mail addresses and are sending announcement to everyone I know, but what’s the best way to find and/or generate interested readers in checking my Blog out for the first time in hopes they will return? I also plan on sending e-mail announcements for each new post to be made before the 15th of each month but there must be more I can do on my Blog site itself, and out on other internet sites and/or sources. Any help will be greatly appreaciated! Thanx in advance!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You can set up a customized contact form http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ on a static page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ or in a text widget http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/ and above that form you can ask those who wish to have their email address “captured” to use it.

You have one Post – with a new blog – it takes 4 to6 weeks for a new site to be indexed by search engines – so please be patient on search referrals
From a Reader Friendly point of view using the More Tag will make your site nicer to read and your visitors will not get so confused
