It seems being at the right place at the right time is sometimes a factor. What we have to do is always be ready for when an unexpected opportunity comes our way. And about press releases, I've been thinking about trying that. Who do you send them to? Other bloggers, journalists, both? Has anyone mentioned luck?

building a community, a la;
1) directory listing
2) press releases
3) online promotions

can build your community up.

I feel that blogging could end up a solitary affair and a one way street if not executed right.

if you have a group of readers who’re constantly giving you feedback and responding to your posts, you benefit from:

In my short experience blogging within a topic that is way overblogged(poker) I have run into a good number of people who really have no idea what they are talking about. It is ok to not know everything about a particular subject. It is important to admit that you don't and not try to pass yourself off as an expert. Just my two cents.
