A great way to get people to read and comment on your blog is to actively involve the reader. It’s something I’ve been struggling with (you know, searching for THE perfect idea).
Well, Chris over at GenuineChris.com came up with such an idea. His blog is not for everyone; I like him ’cause his style and [...]

In doing research for my upcoming special blogging report, I’ve come to realize that (gasp!) not all bloggers view blogging the same as I do. To me, blogging is all about creating a conversation, opening the lines of communication and encouraging honest discussion.

Jenn Givler has inadvertently referred me to a new service, helping generate more blog traffic and I just had to share it with you.
It’s a widget called BlogRush (this is a referral link — as opposed to an affiliate link; I don’t actually get paid for referring you, since it’s a free service).
