My first blog

[walrus]

Nice first blog. You would need to edit the image header_bg.gif or at least thats the only way I know to do it.

I see you've followed at least some of TPat's advice and thats a good thing.

As far as my blog roll, I prefer blogs in the same niche, then other sites in the same niche and finally I'll trade with sites that I like or think my surfers would like.

I usually try to submit to 8-10 blog directories, including the two I run and a couple of LL's that accept blogs.

Setup categories or at least one catch all that's not uncategorized.

I'm not sure how the new wordpress handles tags but if your using BA, you should be able to setup a generic set of tags in BA's header / footer section. The old way using UTW is like this:

[tag]keywords, here, seperated, by, commas[/tag]

I would imagine the same would work with the new WP with tagging built in.
