How I did it: I more or less gave up my old blogs. I had one in which i mostly wrote posts about how depressed I was and how I didn't feel life had a meaning. (I still post on it sometimes, I guess mostly because it feels sad to give it up after three years). And then I've had like five other ones, about different things. Food, wearing braces etc.

Anyways, instead of writing that crap (important to me, but not to anyone else), I started a blog about books together with a friend. We have a minimum of one post per week, it's not very much but then it takes a while to read all those books...

Lessons & tips: Find your own niche in the blogosphere. You need to write about something that you really feel for. Of course you can use it to just write randomly about your everyday life as well, but that requires a bit of humor or poetic skills if you want a lot of readers.

I don't really know alot about getting readers to your blog. I blog because I want to, to get feelings of my chest and to increase my writing ability.

It also helps to be two (or more)! You get so much from each other and you know that at least that one person reads your posts.

I find this blog tool the best because you can post from different identities.

But then, there are a million different places to publish blogs on. I'm fond of a few swedish ones like
http://blogg.se.
http://bloggis.se and
http://nanoblogg.se

I also like the english site
