Trying for readership

I'm trying to get the word out about this blog but so far my efforts have proven null and void.  It's as though every blog networking site is on permanent hiatus or vacation or just plain doesn't care about their site anymore.  If you're visiting my site and like what you see (please keep in mind that this is a relatively new blog so it's a definite work in progress) then please leave me a comment and add me to your blog roll.  The word of fellow bloggers is still the best way to get your site read and followed.
