Timing is essential as you have to take into account that your blog has a worldwide audience. To figure out where you will get the most hits from, check your statistics to determine where your biggest group of readers is located and at what time they tend to log on to your site. Then go and setup the “post-per-email” feature in wordpress. Many email clients come with an option where you can have it send an email at preset time.
Obviously some breaking news articles should be posted as soon as possible and I suggest you use a BlackBerry or something if you feel the urge.

Lets face it, content is king and the main reason people actually visit a blog. So it’s your job to make sure that you have plenty of it.
If you are looking to provide information for a specific kind of reader, you will most likely only get that specific type of reader.
Try to mix you content with some more popular stories or videos so you will reach out for a bigger group of people. Chances are some of them will stick around and will get interested in what you have to say about your favourite topic.

Exposure is a thing I can’t stress enough. No matter how wonderful, witty or brilliant your article is, it will only become valuable if someone reads it.
Notify the right sites so they can spread the word for you.
Just to name a few: Digg.com - del.icio.us - reddit.com - Corank.com - Netscape.com
Another way is to make sure your update will get picked up by blog directories like Technorati by having your wordpress automagically ping these sites for you.

You are not alone in blogland. Infact you are about 0,000000000001% of the population these days and you should know your neighbours. They might have been around a bit longer and will have a loyal group of readers of whom a few might be interested in what you have to say. Linking to a particular article from another blog will help the both of you since these links are one of the things pagerank and technorati rank gets measured on.
Always make sure you credit the source if you quote some information.
Remember what goes around comes around so try to get some good karma going.

What renders a fantastic idea useless? If you forget it.
One of the things you could do is carry a paper notebook with you at all times and scribble down any visions for a great article that hit you during the day. Another thing I have started to do is synch my iPod before I leave for work with my favourite RSS feeds via iFeedPod (Windows users can use iGadget)
This gives me the possibility to browse through new articles while I’m on my way to work in the train and adds about 40 minutes of researchtime a day. Again, if you come across a hot item you want to post straight away, I suggest you get a BlackBerry :)
