something like Live Journal or Greatest Journal, is that
users just like you have created communities for
people with common interests.
There are communities for just about any subject, and
if you find that there isn't a community for the
subject you can create one. This is a great place to
advertise your blog.
The nice thing about communities is that there isn't
any limit as to how many communities that you can
join.
For example, say that you love blogging about books,
horseback riding, and skiing in Tahoe. All you have to
do is look through the communities for ones that have
those interests and join them.
As long as you post something related to the topic to
the chosen community, people will see you and perhaps
they will check out your personal blog.
Something to remember is that you don't want to write
a post that is one sentence long in order to get people
to go to your blog. They will want to know that what
you write is interesting and is something worth
reading.
Joining communities can be a great way to advertise
your blog and drive traffic to it. If you are
referring to something that you posted about on your
blog, you can use a link back to your entry in your
post.
As with posting comments on someone else's blog, you
don't want people to think that you joined a community
simply to get traffic to your blog. Otherwise, people
won't visit your blog and you may get banned from the
community as well.

Dear Dan & Deanna,
I have known that you have been posting articles on blogging and forming an e-books. This time, I may be seriously interested in forming e-books out of my blogs including Japanese ones. Also very interesting and informative posts on how we can use blogs for our business without upsetting readers who has serious interest in reading your articles.
Later I would like to talk with you how I can do what I am planning to do with you. I am sure you can help me.
Best wishes,

Hello Shaw,
That sound interesting. Email any time. We can see what we can do to help each other. Joint Ventures are well worth doing. If we can not help you we know of some very good people that will be able to help.

Hello Hugo and Roxanne,
We have some very wonderful friends that we have meat online that we would not have known other wise. We include both of you in that. Shaw, Hilary, Peter and others. Look at all the different blogs that we have and enjoy of each others. And we call each other friends, all because of the internet.
Look at all the other friendships yet to make through the forums. Have a good day.
