Looking for some suggestions on the description of the blog. I'm kinda stumped. Help me come up with something that would attract people to the blog

Anymore ideas on how I can get more traffic? Somewhere said something about putting social bookmarking links on each post etc@. How do I do that?

Word press was giving me issues from my phone so I switched to google...made it easier to have all google stuff and basically they have the quick switch theme as well. Ik like to keep it simple anyhow
Matt, the colors are OK. I like the black background and the grey text highlights the light green headers.
The content is current so once a person with interest views they should return. Hopefully, they will subscribe.
As for social expansion, is there a way you can get something on Twitter.
Pete has a Twitter following so perhaps he could list your Blog. Approach the other developers ( Adam, Chevy, old Sholes team, Natediddy1120 a member of this forum now has a Rom) perhaps they would post your blog
If there are other similar blogs contact the owner/sponsor and see if you can list each others blog.
Hopefully, members on the Droid forum will notice your post. Not sure how they would react but perhaps the moderators could somehow list your blog.
Contact the Alldroid and other similar sites to see if they would post your blog.
Contact the folks that have ytube segments to see if you can somehow share the post info/link.
Just keep the content flowing and the word will spread.

So you are suggesting maybe working out a deal to blog about new rom releases and updates basically?

Suggest to the administrators here that a blog section be set up in Droidforums, that could also be linked to your own blog. Whenever you post a new entry, it would appear in the Droidforums blog list of recent entries. I've been on a number of message boards like that and think it would be a good idea. You would get a lot of readers here, but I'm not sure that it would translate into numbers for your own offsite blog, but maybe there's a way that it could....
Yes. Get yourself on twitter under Droid, Moto, Android, etc. any tag that appears on the forum.

I have a Michigan sports blog MM
I get pretty good traffic and have some what of a "following". All I can say is just stick to it. You may not see a lot of traffic but it you keep plugging away and posting then you may get big. If you can get breaking news or something that brings people back(good writing,comedy) then it will do well.
Search for blog templates and get rid of the boring noob look. Find a nice temp and upload it as your html. Also just make connections with other tech blogs and sites. That will help your traffic.
Also goto sitemeter.com and get one so you can see your traffic and where people are coming from. I will link you on my site if you wanna link me. Let me know if you are down for that or have any other questions.
Edit: About Twitter, you can set a twitter and anything you post will go across your twitter and so anyone following you can reach your blog via twitter. Just set up a twitter feed. I also have a facebook feed.

How do you find a template and add it to blogspot? I see the spot for editing HTML....but can I just find any template and upload and it will convert everything seamlessly?
As for Twitter, are you saying that anything I post on my blog will go across Twitter or you are saying I need to tweet anything that I post on my blog?
I have a twitter account Matth3wJones...just not sure what to do with it
