Welcome aboard Shane.
Stick your blog link in your sig but otherwise only mention it if you have a specific article relating to something someone on Beoir is asking about.

Twitter is your best bet for followers (I followed you)and also participation in The Session[/url:381wqian]. That's the first Friday of the month, or today if it helps (probably too late for today <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->). No invite needed, just look at the topic on the main session page and have an article in mind. Keep an eye on the hosts site for an announcement, take note of what they want and write your article. Then post the link on their announcement page.
If you have an idea for a topic, submit a request to host a free slot.
