Advertising my Blog

I'm doing everything I can think of to advertise my blog. I have posted it all over my social networking sites including:

• Digg
• Facebook
• FamilyLink
  

I hope the new attention gets new people reading. If not, oh well, I still have fun blogging. What other ways can I advertise my blog?

New Look! New Feature!

I updated my blog today to show a new look and feel.  I also added a new feature that I love.  I started to use Google Reader as my RSS aggregator about 2 weeks ago.  I used to use iGoogle but I thought I would try a real reader for a while to see if I liked it.  The feature that I added to the blog is the Recent Articles of Interest.  This just shows articles from the "Shared" folder in Google Reader.  Very nice.

Looking for a new blog host

I'm looking for a new place to host my blog.  I'm really into free blogging and I love Blogger, but I can't find any nice free tools that I can use to post to the blog from OS X.  

I use Journler to write all of my blog posts, but it has stopped supporting Blogger.  The application recommends LiveJournal (or any other metaWeblog compatible site), but I have yet to see a LiveJournal blog that isn't exceptionally ugly.

Does anyone have any ideas or can point me in the right direction?
