Start looking at other blogs to get an idea of what you like and dislike. This can help you avoid common mistakes often made by amateur bloggers, such as not choosing universally applicable subjects, poor grammar and obscure titles.
Decide on a blog angle and develop a strong opinion. The most popular bloggers come from a specific personal point of view, so make a list of the topics that you are interested in and draw from these once you begin to blog.
Use free social community websites like MySpace and Facebook to start your own blog about anime subjects, characters, drawing tips and events. Because you have a group of friends who join your page, you will have an instant audience.
Sign up at sites like LiveJournal or Blogger for a more generalized blog. For a specifically anime audience, though, Theanimeblog.com may be a better fit.
Choose from a selection of pre-made fonts, templates and layouts to customize your blog page. Make sure to add your name, your anime point of view and contact information (email).
Enable emoticon use, freebie buttons, images, blog chalks, comments, tagboards and discussion forums to make your blog truly interactive.
Send your blog URL to friends to drum up visitors. The more people who visit, the bigger your audience will be and the more your popularity will grow.
