  Hi. Use the ‘Reader – Topics’ page to find blogs with a similar focus as yours, maybe find some new ones who would be grateful for a comment or two, leave a comment or two, get to know them, engage them. Don’t just say “Hi, great blog”. Eventually either they’ll come to you, or they’ll ignore you and you move on.
