I'll have to see if I can get that feed working on LJ.

I feel your pain on the way LJ has gone, but the community I'm part of is largely still there, which is why I'm sticking with it. And as a permanent account holder I have, so far, been largely immune to their messing around.

Glad you like the WP blog! The readership there is still much smaller than on LJ, but I'm trying to do different things. The WP is fulling public, while the LJ is flocked, so the tone and content can be quite different. Just look at the posts about funding a few weeks ago :-)

My model for the WP blog is part Charlie Stross' blog, though I've yet to write too much about the fiction writing side of things (somewhat to my surprise). and partly Prof Peter Cole's wordpress blog In the Dark. Peter has built up a sizeable readership over the years, and I think the key is regular posts that are contentful, rather than the more personal things I've been posting to LJ of late. So don't expect to see cycling diary posts on WP :-)

I hopefully will be putting something up on WP about writing this evening.
