There's a whole network of blogs out there. I just started a new one http://zanografix.blogspot.com but its going to have an emphasis mostly on gallery postings. Sometimes I think the best way to promote your own writing is to goto a blog with a lead in, and provide a link to the page where the rest of the story or more poems can be found. John's right writer's write is an awesome site. Some site are more critical then others so be careful where you post sometimes the comments are pretty harsh. You can also post short items in the forum at my site. I'm always looking for visitors. I had one guy last year post 21 poems in a day...I asked if I could move the post to one of my standard pages and never got an answer. So they got deleted I couldn't be sure on the author. http://www.zanografix.com
