    I decided to start a new blog, stelaw.blogspot.com, because I have a crap load of articles that I have tried to get published as guest editorials, but none got picked up. I plan on writing more, but I wanted them to be read by people, so I decided to stop hoping they get published, and just publish them on my own blog.

    Eventually, I will buy a domain name and custom template, but for now, I am just working with blogger and adsense.

    Any advise would be greatly appreciated, especially how to promote the blog.

    I agree the stuff is fairly serious, but I really like writing about public policy. I will definitely try to throw in a humorous post every once in an while though...

    You are writing some great content, but I suggest you try getting a paid host and your own domain. It's very easy to important your posts from blogger to wordpress and I definitely also suggest you try it out. It's much better than blogger :)

    What about just getting my own domain for now, and then point it to the blogger. Then when the blog is self-sustainable financially, I can get hosting. Sound like a plan?

    The information you write about is noteworthy however you need to be more concise with less words.

    Ok, i'll try to keep the articles shorter. But I am probably going to continue to write 90% serious, public policy topics. Think I can gain a following? Make some money?

    I like your writing style, but I think you need to find a better blogspot theme, the one that you're using right now is too boring. A serious topic with a boring theme will scare your visitor really fast.
