Blogs need to be promoted, just like a website, if you want people to know about it and more importantly, visit your blog. I'll take my previous blog title a step further by going into a bit more detail...
Write posts that people will want to read... If you want people to read your post, then your posts should be interesting and they must want to return to read your next post. Try to make you posts convesational, easy to read and encourage comments and interaction. Keep your posts short and stick to one topic per post.
Optimize your posts for search engines... Strive to get your posts listed for keywords of your choice. Make sure that your blog URL contains the primary keywork you want to optimize for. Use your primary kerywords in the title of your post. Use your secondary keywords in the body of your posts and use your keywords in the anchor text of links in the body of your posts.
Submit your blog and RSS feed to directories... Try to submit your blog to directories like yahoo and DMOZ and what ever other blog directories yo can find. The more channels you promote your blog through the greater the chances of getting traffic to your blog. And don't forget about the search engines, submit your blog to search engines as well. The key is promotion promotion promotion... how else will people know that you exist!!
I just wish I had known this information when I started with this blog... Also have a look at the links on the right of this page... Hopefully you will find this information useful, so stick around as I update this topic....
