Hey Chris,
congrats! That are some good tips and some nice traffic! I still have my blog on blogger (
http://nylonmichelle.blogspot.com) but I will move to my own domain soon, before Google kicks me out, finally... I was always wondering if the Tag cloud works or not, but afte reading your post, I'll have it too :-)
And thinking of anniversaries:
http://nylonmichelle.com turns 1 year old in November. I moved from clips4sale to my own member page and I was not sure if it would work out at that time, but I am doing pretty well and I am glad I did this step!
