It's probably very difficult to transfer over to a new domain at this point. Wordpress.com doesn't allow redirects or anything like that. Another lesson that it's best to have your own domain when starting a site. Well the blog started off on Wordpress.com and then gained huge amounts of popularity.

But still you can do some subtle things to give off the impression that you have an active site. Encouraging comments on blog posts for example.

Let me know how that works out for you. You can also use the Conflagration script that Andy mentioned above: http://raygunrobot.com/archives/Conflagration-A-better-web-feed-subscriber-widget It uses the Feedburner API so it's probably more flexible than the plugin.

Back when I first started creating forums, I used to create multiple users and have conversations with myself. Not the optimal situation but that did bring on real people to start the community.

Thanks again for the interview. I agree that the blogosphere is becoming more crowded, but the number of top quality blogs is still very limited. Hard work, passion, and dedication will usually result in good results. No problem Mike. Thanks again for the interview.

Thanks for the info Andy. I don't think your blog design is the prettiest or the flashiest, but I can see it being one of the best in terms of conversions (RSS subscriptions). How have the different versions affected your subscription rates? Any key takeaways other than the fact that the upper left side is prime real estate? Very cool. Thanks for the info Andy.
