The next step might be to select your audience and purpose for each of them (and let form follow function). Then develop a strategy to how to reach the audience you are interested in and spend some time targeting that audience. There a methods to improve traffic to your blog (or other Web 2.0 application)—most of which involve improving the metadata (that the search engine spiders crawl through), posting useful content on other related blogs and registering your blog or site with different highly used discovery sites (digg, technorati, stumbleupon) It is great to experiment with each of these tools to see how they work and what they can do.
