Getting exposure for your blog on NetworkInAustin.com is actually quite simple. Much like you would want your website to be listed on Yahoo and Google, you want your blog to be listed on the various blog directories and search engines. Fortunately the list is nearly endless, and submitting your blog is quite easy.

Visit any of the sites listed below and look for a "submit your blog" or "add blog" type link to get listed.

Blogwise
Technorati
Blog Search Engine
BlogTree
Blog Universe
<a href="http://www.blogarama.com/" title=\"The Blogs Directory\" >Blogarama
The Blog Directory
Wil's Domain
Blogs for Small Business
Bloggerfind

You can find a much larger list of Blog Directories on Yahoo

After each entry to your blog you will also want to use a "ping" service. A ping simply tells the various directories that you've updated your blog and that they should come and read what you've written. The two that I use are:

ping-o-matic
pingpower

I'll discuss promoting your blog more in future articles and posts.
