On to the second part of the heading.
Tonya wrote yesterday about a Blogger on her Lazy Gal Winter Class who is trying to attract attention to her blog. Apart from Tonya's very sound advice on making sure you are not on no-reply and people can respond to your comments, the other way is to join one of the web rings, often listed in people's side bars.
Some are invitation only - like Maverick Quilters - some aren't. The ones listed below are open.
To join the Stashbusters web ring you have to be a member of the Stashbusters' Yahoo! Group. Don't confuse this Stashbusters ring with the one run by Judy L. That one is invitation only.
The Quilting For Fun web ring is now closed, but Swooze has set up another one - More Quilting For Fun. She also runs the Stashbusters' ring.
I think the Design Studio one is still open too.
You can join via the links in the left hand side bar.
Of course, another way of attracting attention is to be positively blatant and make sure that every email you send out has the link to your blog at the bottom!
