Don't worry too much about it Kevin, just keep up the good writing. I didn't notice a link, but you might want to consider a technorati account as well. There is a lot of political blogging going on these days. The nice thing about techno is that you can see the number of posts on a given topic.
Another suggestion which I've recently come to enjoy is a blog carnival. Doing this for my financial blog has really helped out.
Also, especially with politics, consider some good link baiting. If you haven't seen it already, go to copyblogger.com. He has great stuff for headlines and general copywriting. |
