However, you still need to be promoting your blog to drive traffic there and make it work for you. Here are # of ways you can market your blog:

1. Write keyword-rich blog post titles. Google and other search engines will deliver quality traffic to your blog, but only if they think it’s relevant. Front-load your blog post titles with appropriate keywords to improve your rankings.
2. Promote your RSS feed. Put it “above the fold”, explain what RSS is, or just send them to this helpful video: How to Subscribe to an RSS Feed.
3. Include an RSS > Email option. Not everyone “gets” RSS, but everyone gets email newsletters. With little to no extra work, you can let people get your content in they way they want to.
4. Get your post “dugg.” You can submit your post to the social news site Digg, but it will carry more weight if you get a friend (or someone else) to do it for you. Consider forming a “bookmarking club” where you can help each other out.
5. Submit your blog to blog directories. Here’s an exhaustive list of blog directories, and here’s a top 20 blog directory list.
6. Tweet it, and retweet it. I’m a big fan of adding tweetmeme’s tweet button to your blog posts and then manually tweeting it yourself to get the ball rolling (and so that the retweet button doesn’t show “0″ as a retweeted number. And, if you believe Guy Kawasaki, it’s cool to do that a few times.
7. Add your blog url to your signature file. Just like you include your Web site URL in your outbound emails, add your blog URL as well.
8. Stumble it. Getting a post into StumbleUpon can deliver a lot of quality traffic; like Digg, it’s best if someone else stumbles it for you.
9. Ping it. After each new post, I visit Pingoat and ping all the news aggregators I can reach.
10. Claim it in Technorati. Technorati is one of the biggest blog directories out there.
11. Contribute to forums. Find your target audience’s forums, and participate in a non-sales-y way. In your responses you can include your signature file with a link to your blog.

1. Do some article marketing. Repackage some of your blog posts into short articles and submit them to article directories for links back to your blog. (For more on this, read Article Marketing for Search Engine Visibility.)
2. Update your LinkedIn status. Let your LI network know about your recent blog post.
3. Respond to commenters. If people are taking the time to comment on your blog, thank them publicly or privately to encourage more of the same behavior.
4. Include it on your Twitter profile. Twitter gives you one outbound link; send tweeps to your blog where you can have a deeper conversation than 140 characters will allow.
5. Pull your RSS feed into your Facebook page. You can have your blog automatically feed into your Facebook profile or fan page.
6. Include your blog in the Web site section of your LinkedIn profile. Just don’t leave the link as “My blog”. Give it a keyword-rich link so people will be more likely to click on it.
7. Get listed in AllTop. Just signup and submit your blog to the appropriate category.
8. Link to it from your Web site. Just include a link.
9. Link to it from your email newsletter. Each month I include 4 or 5 of my favorite blog posts in my email newsletter’s Quick Link section. Cross-promotion is the key to successful marketing.
10. Comment on other blogs. Although most blog comments include “no-follow” links, you can still draw people to your blog with insightful, pithy comments. Maximize your success by reading and contributing to the most influential blogs in your category.
11. Make your blog Delicious. Getting individual posts and your entire blog bookmarked at Delicious can deliver quality traffic. Like Digg, consider a bookmarketing club approach.
12. Leverage YouTube. Not only should you be embedding YouTube videos into your blog posts, you should be linking to your blog from your YouTube channel.
13. Guest blog. Find bloggers in your niche and see if they’re open to letting you guest blog. It helps them because they get free content; it helps you because you get visibility and inbound links.
14. Update your Facebook status. If you don’t tell all your Facebook friends that you’ve updated your blog, they may never speak to you again.

That’s a good start, but I know there are plenty of other good ideas. What are you doing to promote your own blog?

Without Kaka, who received the ban following a red card he received when Brazil conquered the Ivory Coast 3-1, and Robinho is reserved, the Brazilian attack is not too varied. They are doing more attacks from the right wing, led by Dani Alves and Maicon.
Kept depressed, Portugal has counter-attacked on the 15th minute to make the back row fairly throe Brazil. Lucky, goalkeeper Julio Cesar with a perfectly anticipate and drive the ball left-wing cross from Brazilian goalkeeper so safe.

1. It doesn’t allow you to include 1 or more category pages in your nav menu.
2. It doesn’t allow you to exclude 1 or more pages from the nav menu.
3. It doesn’t allow you to include links to an external site in your nav menu.
4. It doesn’t make it easy for you to control the order of the links in your nav menu.
5. It doesn’t allow you to use navigation link text that’s different from the page title.

To deal with such issues, I’ve seen some WordPress theme developers who are building a custom navigation menu function into their themes. At first glance, this seems like a great feature to include in a WordPress theme, and I’ve considered it for Solostream themes.

Ultimately, though, I decided against it, because what happens when you decide to change your theme? Once you move to a different theme, your navigation structure is toast. It’s great for the theme developer, because you’re less likely to switch to a competitor’s theme, but it limits you as the user.

That’s what I love about the Menu Manager plugin. It gives you complete control over your navigation menu without locking you into using a specific theme. With Menu Manager, you can include or exclude any page or category you like. You can also create links to external pages if you like.

As far as the link text, you can make it whatever you want. So, if you have a page with the title “Learn a Little More About Me,” you can just use “About” as the navigation link. Further, there’s a drag-and-drop function that allows you to order you navigation links any way you choose.

Here’s a short video tutorial showing how to create your navigation menu with Menu Manager.

Here’s the code I used in the video to install the Menu Manager plugin:

<ul>
<?php /*If Menu Manger is activated, run it */ if (function_exists(‘mm_menu’)) { ?>
<?php mm_menu(); ?>
<?php /* If Menu Manger is not active, run the usual navigation code */ } else { ?>
<?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=’); ?>
<?php } ?>
</ul>

The United Republic of Tanzania (Swahili: Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania) is a nation in central East Africa bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west, and Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique to the south. The country’s eastern borders lie on the Indian Ocean.

The United Republic of Tanzania is a unitary republic composed of 26 mikoa (regions). The current head of state is President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, elected in 2005. Since 1996, the official capital of Tanzania has been Dodoma, where parliament and some government offices are located. Between independence and 1996 the major coastal city of Dar es Salaam had been the country’s political capital. Today Dar es Salaam remains the principal commercial city of Tanzania and the de-facto seat of most government institutions. It is the major seaport for the country and its landlocked neighbours.

The name Tanzania is a portmanteau of Tanganyika and Zanzibar. The two states united in 1964 to form the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar, which later the same year was renamed the United Republic of Tanzania.
