Suggestion needed for my new blog?

First of all, nice site! I didn't realise Blogger/Blogspot templates could look so good.

What I would do is think about purchasing a TLD (top level domain) either through Blogger, or from a registrar like GoDaddy. You want to point a TLD URL at your blog and stop using the free subdomain. This alone will help in the way people perceive you.

Get on lots of forums and participate in meaningful, valuable discussions. Do not push your website hard, but get a signature in the forum if you can and continue adding value to other people.

Meanwhile, use social media to engage with other people, like Facebook Twitter etc.

Use Social bookmarking sites like StumbleUpon and Digg. Comment on other people's blogs too. It gets you on their radar.

Look to post 1 blog entry every day. Do not exhaust yourself too quickly by posting too much too soon. Start as you mean to go on.

Running a competition in the future would be great in the future when you have more traffic. Giving away books will be nice and help you stand out.
