I will eventually get my feet wet in the blogosphere but what i quest for is knowledge and tips like this is perfect into setting up the right molded blog. It entices more thoughts which opens more doors into how things when comfortable help inspire or welcome insight. I tend to feel welcomed when i know things familiar so these area all pluses in my mind. Saying that, it's hard to take my full thoughts on widgets with much salt but i'll say after my past adventures around blogs and comment pages. These widgets are very helpful, I for one love gravatar, i was skeptical at first but like how it keeps my image unified, speaking of which i should update my pic :) Retweet button of a Share This for FB are key if you are looking to grow to a wider audience and in today's age as easy as that is now, let's do it. Share the wealth in any way possible! The bookmark has become a bigger tool for me, of late as i'm finding a enormous sum of information that i can't seem to soak all in at once. I just started using Del.ico.us but will try ADD This and see if it's simpler, i'd rather learn a recommended system than one that's out because it was out earlier. Great write up, Erika!

It took me a few weeks to get all of these together when I started blogging. The things that now seem so obvious were totally unknown. I'm sure you know, it's an on-going work in progress. I totally agree about the FB widget. Make it as easy as possible for people to find or contact you online is my thinking... Thanks for sharing. :) Very true.

Gotta develop that following already! Check, check, check, check, and check :)
