I know that a large number of the bloggers here are not so worried about promoting their blog, using it as a creative outlet/brain dump. But, I do know that there are some here that may have done this in the past.
With my blog, I use it to primarily review older horror films, etc. and have a lot of fun with it. However, I would eventually like to draw some attention, such as a magazine or newspaper, etc. that might be looking for a freelance writer for just such type of fare.
As of late, I've started to read up on the subject of blog promoting, (probably not the correct term) so when I get to a point where I want to draw some attention, I'll be ready for it.
As an experiment, I've been doing things such as, technorati, I've been accepted to Blogburst and have even had two reviews picked up by one of the news papers there. I've been submitting my reviews to digg.com, and even tried deli.ci.ous which I don't understand in the least. I've even gone so far as a myspace page associated with my real blog, since that crowd could have a heavy user base of people that would be interested in the subject matter.
For those of you that are interested in promotion of your blog, what steps do you use to get your word out and about, and help drive in readers to your site?
Just as a recape, I'm aware of:
Blogburst
Technorati
Digg.com
deli.ci.ous
myspace
Are there some other important feed sites that I'm missing?
