Checking in to give a progress update. I've been live and online for a little over a month with 4 solid posts under my belt. I thought I would have at least a few browsers (thank you to the 2 commenters from this site!!). I've done a few google searches and don't see my site coming up in the first 4-6 pages. I think I'm doing something wrong. Should I have more terms in my tags or is there somewhere else in WP that I should be adding key words?

Are you backlinking? I'm somewhat at the same stage...
I've been working on backlinking and posting additional unique content on EzineArticles and Squiddo. But I'm a newbie...so I'd be interested in what other say too! ;-)

Is backlinking the process of visiting other similar blogs and commenting? I haven't done that yet but plan to soon. I still have a wedding and some wedding related projects to finish. The wedding is next weekend and I should have time to get things rolling!

It is one way of building links IF the blog owner has a set up that 'follows' your link.
It takes awhile for a site to rank for any particular keyword phrase. I find your site if I search for 'stained glass antics' directly.
What phrases are you trying to be found for?
