How about adding a field for the blog address to the user settings? Some of the regular CPians already have a blog (i.e. Paul W, David W, leppie, Marc C), which might be interesting to others.

There is already a Home Page field in our profiles, I use that. If your blog is the first port of call you want people to make, then put the URL in there, otherwise make sure your site has a link through to your blog.

Or do what we do and place a link in our sigs
....which only works if people read messages posted by us. I think some people avoid mine.

An easy mistake to make. DW and DS are all too eerily similar... heh.

So far 65 people keep a blog and 106 read one. Assuming everyone who writes also reads, that means only 63% of the people who keep a blog have a single reader other than themselves.
[Edit] this is a non-scientific interpretation of the poll [/Edit]

Depends, because one person can read several blogs
You asume that people who read blogs only reads a single one

Yeah, that's why I add the "non-scientific" qualifier to my interpretation.
However, my interpretation could be close to the truth because blog writers are the ones with nothing better to do, the average number of blogs they write is probably far greater than the average number of blogs a reader will bother to look at.

Same here, didn't found it interesting to peek in someone's diary. Even before blogs came out. Blog is just a trashcan IMHO.

Blogs are more hype than substance. A LOT more hype, IMO.
(but I have one, just to see what all the hype is about, but no, I don't read other people's blogs. Well, except for Megan's. )

I will agree that a proper "Blog" is all hype. However, the IIS on my machine is running my own simple blog pages that are a great replacement for all those sticky notes that used to clutter up my monitor. My blog is all substance and no hype. Okay, well, I guess I hyped it a little just now... but that's it.

That's actually a good point. It's not so much that the concept of the blog has any hype, but that the content of the blog is of any value. I guess as Taka would point out to me yet again, it's not the concept that's the problem, it's how the concept is applied.

Kind of how I got into it, but it turns out it's fun. Probably more fun for the person writing it than for the poor souls reading it

Really? Well, I would say then that yours has much more wisdom. And I'm impatiently waiting the continuation of your story, and what happened after you landed in the US with $15 in your pocket!
