I was bored this evening (unlike most evenings which are super fun filled times of excitment) so I started my own blog outside gamespot. It's kinda cool, just being able to write what you want. Mine is going to be primarily about games. But my dilemma is as follows - how the hell do you get people to read the damn thing? I mean I don't want to force people to read the ramblings of a first year Arts student, but if reading said ramblings is what engages them, I'd at least like them to have the chance to know that my blog is out there on the World Wide [porn] Web.

So, any tips on how to get word out about this new, intellectual blog of mine that will soon take the world by storm? Or am I doomed to having only about ten hits on my blogs hit counter, half of which will be from people who will find it via this blog, never to look at it again, the other half being me. I quite honestly have no idea how people are ever meant to find it. I don't even know how to search for similar blogs, so I can comment on them and hope they comment back. Any experience bloggers out there who know what they're doing? Thanks :)
