Hey there Matthew,
Just a few tips for improving your blog:
- change your default theme; get one designed for you or check out the free ones out there,
- do some links exchange; there are scripts that can handle that: LinkEx and Links Organizer,
- use the All-In-One-SEO plug-in for SEO purposes,
- at last, add some syndication buttons for your blog's RSS feed (ex. my site: Bumble Angelz)
That's about it! Afterwards, all you need to do is to update the blog regularly.
