First impression
Get a design change on your blog. The new look, if implemented properly, will communicate to your readers that you know what you are talking about and it will give them an idea of what your blog is about. You also should take into account the great role of titles, taglines, post titles, and opening lines of posts. This is what makes your readers stick around.
Content
“Stickify Your Blog” - identify your pillar post! Interact with other bloggers, let your readers know what others do. This will widen the scope of your blog field. Then choose and embrace the passions that dominate the creation of links that bring people together in a community.
Social Blogging
