Social Promotion

stumbleuponNature bloggers have yet to effectively leverage the power of social promotions networks like Digg, del.icio.us, or StumbleUpon. Yet, as anyone who's been on the receiving end of this level of publicity can attest, social promotion makes a difference. Publicize quality nature blogging by joining one or more social sites (I recommend StumbleUpon) and bookmarking posts you enjoy during your daily browsing.
