It’s hard to make the transition from livejournal to your own hosted blog like ones available at wordpress.org. There isn’t an instant network of people you can browse through — independently hosted blogs just are connected in the way that ’social networks’ like livejournal, facebook, or even myspace is. & it’s a lot harder to get set up.

Let’s face it, nobody blogs for himself, but nobody wants to ‘advertise’ their blog either. We’ve all browsed the comment section of a YouTube video and see those comments. “great video check out my hilarious vid where a kid farts in someones face!”
But it’s easy, actually, to build up a readership. Wordpress features a variety of integrated plugins and services that help you get your name out. The key? Read read read, link link link. Read other blogs: fandom, special interests, news, whatever. Link to those places. Talk about it.
