How to get posts read?
-
As an extremely green/naïve blogger, I thought you throw the post out thee and others would see it. Apparently this is not case as I have done a couple three posts and no views. I realize content could be a major factor but barring that, what is first step in getting a few eyes on my posts and getting some feedback. Also the” Get started” videos take forever to download so I have yet to view one. Any help would be appreciated.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It takes time and effort to build a collection of unique content, to promote it, and to attract followers. See these for Staff tips on increasing traffic:

http://dailypost.wordpress.com/postaday/ebook-grow-traffic/If you want to increase traffic then don’t listen to anyone who professes there are passive ways of doing that. Increasing traffic to a blog is hard work. If you want your blog to rank well in search engine results then that begins with creating and publishing original content posts (not pages) ie. unique content that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet.

These 5 videos introduce how Google discovers, crawls, indexes your site’s pages, and how Google displays them in search results. It also touches lightly upon challenges webmasters and search engines face, such as duplicate content http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2010/03/22/5google-webmasters-video-tutorials/
If you are using a WordPress.com theme good SEO is a given. However, going beyond the theme what the blogger has done within that structure is worth evaluating. Whether you write informative, persuasive or controversial content learning how search engines work, and how to apply basic SEO to you content will benefit your blog as it will increase traffic from targeted readers. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/10/21/two-seo-videos-for-bloggers/

Despite the ubiquitous statements to the opposite effect, autoposting, rather than manual posting unique snippets to different social networks results in fewer people reading your full posts on your site.

Hello, i want to make a similar filter search on my website like the one on this website: http://articlesofstyle.com/styleguide/..I can’t figure out which plugin he used, maybe you can help me. It’s about selecting one or more categories, then a color filter, and after will appear the images corresponding with the categories you selected earlier. Hopefully the link to the site will make you understand better if i wasn’t to much clear.
I did not find a topic similar to my request and posted here. Sorry for that, but hopefully i will get an answer.
Thank you. -

That is an entirely off-topic post that has absolutely nothing to do with what this thread was created by sfenwick01 for. Please do not hijack threads by posting off topic into them. Click this link and start your own new thread please https://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1 -
@sfenwick01 – your blog is a general interest blog, so pay special attention to the social networking and leaving intelligent, thoughtful comments on other blogs in the advice given above – people will not visit your blog unless they know it is there, and getting traffic with “magic search engines” is the tough way to go – especially for a new general interest site
