If you update your blog frequently, more people will return on a regular basis to read it. Establishing a reader base will motivate you to write more and in turn more people will read your posts.

Get into a routine of blogging. Make it part of your day. Soon, you will notice things during your day and think, "Hey, I'll blog this."

Personalize your blog. A pretty blog always catches the eye. Visit blogger.com for ideas; they have a list of their 10 most recently updated blogs.

Visit blogs that are relevant to your topic. For instance, if you have a blog on lawns, you may want visit and post on allaboutlawns.com's forum. Circles of interest are the essence of blogging, and can help you be recognized as an authority on lawns in the blogosphere.

Keep the posts interesting. Try to avoid repetitive entries or posts that aren't relevant to the topic you've chosen. If people are coming to your site to learn about bacon, and your big topic today is about potholes or pigeons in the park, people will be perturbed, not pleased.

Spell check your writing before posting. Not that every one out there is an English major, but a site that features poor spelling and grammar will not be taken seriously.

Some sites allow you to make money off your blog by using an Amazon Associates ID or by placing Google AdSense advertisements. If popular enough, your blog could start to pay your bills.

Don't feel bogged down if no one visits your site for the first few months. As with any community this large (172 million, remember), it will take some time for your blog to get noticed.

Find blog aggregators. They will place a link to your site on their webpage or have a feed running from your blog so that every time you post something, it will show up on the blog aggregator homepage. Also, this can help increase readership.

If you want a broad (international) readership, do not use too many abbreviations or slang terms that might not be easily understood by people who are not from your country.

Repost interesting news about your topic from Yahoo Oddly Enough..., other Yahoo! stories, Crayon.net and other websites that you frequently read.
