The most effective way of promoting a blog within the WordPress.COM community is to seek out other blogs in the same niche as our own blog and post meaningful comments to posts in them.

When I first began blogging I didn't think much about what my readers impressions of my theme choices would be in advance of making them. I wasn't very clear about who my audience was. Since then I have been able to determine the demographics for my blog and that knowledge has influenced the theme choices I have made. This article is Part 3 of a three-part series of articles for helping WordPress.com bloggers take a step by step approach to changing themes. Parts 1 and 2 are focused on creating a mirror blog and testing features and functions on possible theme choices. This article is focused on determining reader preferences prior to making a theme switch. I have made the switch from Vigilance to Inuit Types and I hope my readers think I made a good choice. Now it's time for your feedback and for sharing your own theme change stories.

So a month from now the outdated Blog Catalog discussion forum will be replaced by "Connect," which will run on FriedEggs.com software. Connect has been designed to give BC members control over who they befriend and follow, and who befreinds and follows them. As Tony Berkman said members will be in total control of who can communicate with them and view their activity records. This innovative approach will provide BC members with the ability to rid themselves of the creepy spammers, scammers and Adsense click fraud fools, who squeeze through the cracks into blog directories and social networks.
I am an experienced user of WordPress software. I blog about becoming a better blogger, building a better blog, and effective blog promotion.  |
