How Do I Read Other's People's Blogs?

So just how do you read what's out there? Does anybody have that answer for me? I may have learned it at some time, but clearly, my short-term memory has bought the farm. How does anybody find my posts?

Agatha: I saw your post in the Help and thought I would reply to you via your blog.
My first piece of advice is to fill out your profile and give an email address where you can be contacted.
Next, check out this web site. They have great ideas for layout/design, getting traffic to your site, and making things work properly.

The more variety of blogs you visit, the more ideas you will get for these things. At the top of the screen on the right you should see a button that says, "Next Blog" which will take you to a random blog. It may be something/someone that interests you or not, and it may be in another language, but you will get ideas for making things work.

I have only been blogging for a few months, but I started finding people online by using a friend's blog and following her links. When you post comments on people's sites, they will visit you and comment also, which is considered proper etiquette whenever possible. So I would visit lots of places and just say something nice! When people leave comments for you, you can click on their picture or icon and it will take you to their profile and show you links to any blogs they maintain.

You can visit my blog for some basic ideas. It's not anything great, but it may be helpful!

Hello,
Well, I was interested in this question too. I read the blogs of people I know. I have a facebook account and sometimes they list their blog urls there. OR if people comment on my blog, as you did, I like to see what they have written and what they think about.

Also, I know that my blog has tags. As I've filled out my profile, the website picks up on key words and highlights them or underlines them (or tags them). If I click on these words they take me to other blogs with those tags also.

I enjoyed reading your blog.
