No problem Chris – Yeah, it’s looked down on a little so if you have a good group of friends helping you out networking-wise, you can offer to Digg their’s if they do yours. To be honest, though, I’m seeing StumbleUpon a lot more and a lot of people are doing it through that (there is a larger design community in that, I think).

Hope this helps!

Thanks James!

Is it not considered somewhat bad etiquette to Digg your own articles though?

Hey Grant! Thanks for the comment. It depends on the topic of the article – the usual ones I see a lot of people pushing are DesignBump, DesignMoo, DesignSwirl, StumbleUpon, Digg, DesignZone.

It’s also good to have a network of other bloggers to help you “push” them up these different networks.

Hope this helps!

These are some really nice tips for someone like me who has just launched their own blog. Out of curiosity, where else should I submit my new articles to? I normally tweet them as soon as I publish, but where else?

Great advice James.

I have to admit though, when I first started blogging about 2 months ago, I was addicted to Twitter and to looking at my Analytics. I think I was a bit unproductive at times, refreshing my Twitter and looking at all the details of my Analytics.

Your tips are awesome and very helpful to newbies like me. One thing I haven’t thought of is doing a survey. I think it will be very useful for improving the content and overall quality of my blog. Thanks for your post.
