After the first blogging from the scratch and second, you should now be able to get some traffic to your blog. If you still manages to blog in a constant frequency, you are already a 1½ months old blogger, congrats. The very main thing that you should learn from blogging is consistency.

Consistency
It is good to let you reader know when they should come back for new information. This way they won’t be disappointed to come back and see if there is no update or too many updates. Even search engine bot would like this because they would know how frequent to comeback for new updates.
Frequency / Quantity Posts
If you do 5 posts in a day and stop posting for the next five days. This would be a bad idea. If you use Timestamp, you could actually make one post each days. Visitor will be ready to come back for more and there is no Information Overload.
Layout
Having a good navigation layout is essential for visitor to take a second look at your website. Do no clutter your blog with information and Do no clutter them with advertisements. A balance between blog information and advertisements is important to keep the visitor comfortable at your blog.
Replying to Comments
Communication is one of the major differences between a website and a blog. Readers like to be able to give feedback/comments about a blog post. This is actually good because you will see some motivational feedback and some good critics that could potentially make you better.
Great ideas! Nice post!
