Making A Blog More Popular Using A Few Easy Tools.

by chris

I’m not a huge fan of twitter.  I use it, but I have a highly filtered stream that I mostly ignore (except–of course–when they are talking about me).  But…since I’ve been playing with some feeds for Tim and Julie, using the “Feed WordPress” plugin for what I want to do.

Simply put, I already use “twitter tools” to auto post blog stuff to here and Facebook.  Works fine, if not perfectly.  It’s one thing I don’t have to do and it seems to have increased my Twitterer Followers and FB follwowers in my virtual dick waving contest to collect people.  I don’t ‘try’ that hard, but I want ot think it through.

Since Josh says to me that comments beget comments, and I happen to agree, why not use Feedwordpress + Twitter tools to beget yourself some comments.

Here’s what I’ll be doing, and this may be a kudge on a kludge.

I’ll set up a blog @ comments.genuinechris.com, and I’ll feed it with the comment stream of approved comments.  I’ll make sure all nofollow tags are removed.

Then, I’ll install twittertools to that.  And each time I get a comment, it’ll show up in my twitterstream, inviting more people into my house to have a ‘spirited debate’ with me, to tell me I’m full of it, or to tell me what’s what.

This should not take long at all–it’s on the list for tomorrow.

Have been seeing some of these come thru on Twitter. I purchased a wordpress acct 1 year ago and have done nothing – guess I need to check it out again.

Hi

I must admit that I feel information overload with all these different avenues for “finding” people (or having people “find” you)
