You can be well known to some people, and not known at all to others. Also, it depends on what you want to be known for. There are people out there who’ve become fairly well known for writing viruses.
I like cogdog’s entry – adding something of value, plus blogging it out to allow for better tracking of ideas through permalinks and encouraging participation through comments – and think that’s the killer solution. Add something useful to the web and make it search-friendly.
I’ve decided to add a tutorial on Ruby to my weblog and I’ve already seen a massive spike in traffic. I wouldn’t say I’m anywhere near being well-known yet, but focusing in on one area has really helped so far, both respect to gaining an audience and clarifying my goals.
