I love the smaller community sites such as BlogEngage because you can actually interact with the community.

Places like Digg suck for a lot of blogs because of the power users, most people are all meh when it comes to topics that don't focus on the overall theme of the bookmarking site which sucks in the long run.

I'm all for promotion as lazy as I can get :D

In the e beginning, I had a flurry of readers now it just has all but died down, and thus has left me with little inspiration to write, what do you suggest?
Thank you and have a nice day.

Thanks John, from one slacker to another. There's definitely a lot to be said for the creative impulses that come from sitting around the house for hours on end with nobody to talk to.

Yo Andy,

I think your attitude in offering those things to your readers is great (the do-follow in comments is interesting, too). Have you heard many criticisms of those methods? -j

Hi Ryan,

I hope people go beyond just adding their RSS feed, too. -j

It is hard to relate to your readers if you don't read their blogs once in a while, and most of the time it is easier to do that in an RSS reader.

The Technorati favorites thing I started when I launched the blog as a realistic goal but also as an easy way to share with my readers.

The 2.0 version of my blog will have the Technorati feeds in some way integrated. I used their feed widget for a little while, but wasn't very satisfied with the results.

I haven't fully decided on the best way to display the RSS, but I will get there in the end.

Lots of Digg tutorials suggest that you should study the top 100 diggers and find active diggers. Others suggest developing a Digg culture with the assumption that your readers are already Diggers.

Typically that is only the case if you have had a lot of Digg traffic in the past.

In my case most of my friends on Digg are now my readers. I get to see the type of things they are interested in, and that helps me target some of my content.

Hey John, thanks for the plug for PlugIM. I'm glad you've found the RSS service to be slacker friendly cause that's what I was going for when I wrote it. I just hope people do more than add their RSS feed and run though. There's lots of good info from many different people being posted.

Yo Kumiko,

Yo Kumiko,

It'll be interesting to see how that turns out. (:<

Great post John! I'm taking slackness to a new level and paying $30 for other people to promote my site:
