I decided to start a blog about my experience, but other than personal blogs (which were secure, friends-restricted, and filled with memes and quizzes), I'm pretty inexperienced at blogging. You can find my blog here if you're interested.

I would appreciate input, especially from people on WP. My blog is about Asperger's (mostly my experience and lack of diagnosis). It's also pretty new and doesn't have much of a direction, which is why I was hoping to get some input around here. And how do I get people to read it? I'm used to trying to keep people out, not invite them in.

And I hope that's enough of a description to qualify it for this forum because it is 5:22 AM where I am and I think I should sleep rather than worry about how eloquent I'm being.

I haven't had a blog for a long time, so my advice might be outdated, but when I did have a blog, one way I got more traffic onto my site was to find other blogs of similar interests and topics to mine and comment. Eventually I had a little network happening and other people would comment on my blog. I think there's a lot of blogs out there dealing with being ASD, so it shouldn't be too hard to find other blogs.

There used to be things like webrings, but I don't know if they're in vogue anymore.

I guess you can also stick the blog in your signature block for forums like WP.
