Back when I had my blog, I never promoted it much. I would link to it if it was relevant, or maybe tell people on IRC to read it, but that's it. No submit-to-diggg buttons or "you should follow me on Twitter". Fuck that patronizing shit.
Anyway, I got a lot of readers and a lot of people coming up to me at conferences saying they read my blog, without having to annoy my readers and convince them to advertise for me. If you read it, great. If you don't read it, whatever.
(Why don't I have a blog now? Because I hate all the existing blog software, and am very very slowly writing something I don't hate. I'll be back :)
