I have to say, that at least in the blogosphere as I’ve experienced it beginning last March, people typically use pseudonyms - even though I don’t either.

After making that decision, I read somewhere that if you provide your name, it can give people enough information to track you down if they want. I sure couldn’t, but I’m not technologically proficient. My sister actually set up the blog for me.

I was thinking of advertising my blog on one of these things like you did - which is how I found yours. But even though I’m discovering lots of blogs, and some of them, like yours, sound good, I’m noticing they pretty much all have zero comments. So I’m wondering if very many people look at these ads…

The only way I’ve found to build traffic so far is to post comments to other blogs.
