When we start a blog instead of simply keeping a private diary, it’s because we want to connect with others.
In wordpress.com you can share your blog post with number of popular social network site through out the internet. This process is called publicize. Not only readers can give comments to your post, but also they can follow and give comments to your post updates at various social networking sites.
You can publicize your blog with six popular services at present.
- Google+
- Tumbler
- Path (new)
Connecting to these service is easy. You need to have an account of the particular site on which you want to connect and publicize. Then go to Settings -> Sharing. There you can find all the option to connect your favourite service with your blog.
After connecting when you are doing a new blog post you can see that your new post updates will be posted to your connected account. You can customised the update text or you can choose on which service you want to send the update.
I am using my twitter account for publicize post. Recently I have added Facebook account to the list. I encourage you to do it too. The more you promote your blog, the more reader you will get and there will increase the chance to get more comments, hoping towards a good conversation around your blog.
