nice work techieguy.
Do you use mybloglog with your blog? I don't know much about blogging but i frequently read people mentioning using mybloglog to gather a list of readers to your blog
I read this guy's blog frequently and his blog he centered around building traffic to your blog and monetizing your blog.
His story of he started earning good money from his blog is inspirational too.
