<p>Well, these are two or three questions in one. That's OK. I think that the best way for you to start in by having a nice product. First you should know what you are gonna offer to your visitors. (what is the all blog about?) </p> <p>After you do that, make sure that you explain your main points clearly and in a way that it doesn't take a huge amount of time to read your latest posts.</p> <p>If you want to promote your blog, I would start with the Social Media using services like Stumbleupon and Digg, as well as Entrecard, MyBlogLog or Plurk. Don't forget about Twitter!!!</p> <p>You can also promote your blog on different forums and blog directories, or even through Giveaways or through Paid Advertising Campaigns.</p> <p>There are different ways to do that .

<p>Create content and articles that people want to read.</p> <p>This falls into one of two categories: entertaining or useful. Examples of entertaining content are failblog.org, perezhilton.com, and geekologie.com. They're just funny and take only a few seconds to read for a laugh.</p> <p>Useful content is dominated by how-to articles. The blogs that I read as a programmer are ones that teach me something I didn't know. Your reader should come away feeling that their time was well spent, because he or she gained something that they can put to use in real life.</p>
