Spreading The Word

If one blogs in internet space and no one reads it, is it really a blog, or just anonymous databits taking up precious (but cheap) disk space for the entertainment and benifit of no one?

How do you get interest and traffic? Well they (whom ever they be) needs to know about it. But still the question is 'How'?

I know the answer - it was in an old shampoo commercial - you need to tell (or interest) two freinds (or even strangers) about the blog, and they'll tell (one can hope, can't they) two friends, and they'll tell freinds, and so on.....
