Meta-blog

Hi Again,

As my friend and former professor, Lorin, taught me "meta communication" is communication about, well, communication. So a blog about blogging can only be a metablog, right?

For once, my blog will be brief. I'm wondering how blog authors build their reader base. I've seen blogs with a large following. I'm very grateful for those who "follow" my blog. I consider it an honor to think that anyone takes the time to read my words. And I'm guessing there may be a few readers who aren't listed on the "followers" list. But if I wanted to increase my readership, how would I go about it?

Any suggestions? Do you "follow" blogs? If so, what drew you to them? What keeps you going back? And what things might one incorporate or learn from those blogs to help one become a better blogger?

Thanks for reading and for your suggestions. I look forward to hearing from you.
