I’m fascinated with the art of blog design, and I often find myself spending too much time browsing some of the industry leading WordPress theme sites. After a year of blogging, and watching the blogging landscape evolve, I felt the itch to update my look and feel again. My blog now loads much faster.

Tweet Content is a valuable resource on the web when it’s written well, and contains useful, actionable information. I just have a tiny little place on the web comparatively to most successful bloggers, and the reality is, what harm is there in getting my content in front of a new audience?

Like many bloggers, I’ve gone in and out of writing, and that doesn’t help with maintaining a consistent flow of traffic to your blog. At the end of the day, driving eyeballs to my blog isn’t really the ultimate goal, writing useful and appreciated content is. But I like anyone loves to see people visit.

I’ve written on my blog for quite some time, and I’ve had a mild amount of success with it depending on how you define success. I feel that I write fairly useful and/or entertaining blog posts that most seem to find interesting or helpful. But somewhere I’m missing the boat on getting those blog posts referenced more often.

You join and/or create “tribes” of those in your network that you feel comfortable associating with, and through those established connections, build a network of individuals that mutually share each other’s content. At first it may come off as spammy, and that was my first reaction.
