Building a community is very hard. Good luck!

My advice is to remember to post interesting things in the blog. A few of the most successful communities were bootstrapped with the readers of a blog. For example:

* StackOverflow started with the reader of the blogs of the founders (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/ and http://blog.codinghorror.com/ )

* HackerNews started with the readers of one of the founder (http://www.paulgraham.com/ , well it doesn't have "blog post", it has "essays").

* Reddit also had initially many readers of pg, because he put in the essays a link for the discussion in Reddit, because he was an investor. I can't find the exact quote, but I remember a comment that said that HN was an attempt to build a site with a similar level of discussion of the early Reddit and /r/programming .

Also, when you have a long, interesting, unique blog post, remember to submit it here, for example http://teenpro.net/blog/podcast-ep1-seth-godin .

Thanks for the advice! I am definitely trying to have good content, and the blog and podcast are a part of that.

I will post the Seth Godin podcast now, thanks for the suggestion. This is the first day I've ever posted on HN, so I'm figuring it out.
