[Sca-cooks] How to blog successfully?

[Suey]

I think my blog a disaster: http://spanishfoodma.blogspot.com/
As Ana Valdes is my only SCA follower and the other three are personal 
buddies, the first follower suggested:
Huffington:

I asked my second follower, my son, about this. He replied:
- Most bloggers there are somewhat famous.
The best way to increase blog viewers is to get other sites and blogs to 
link to yours. I think the main issue is that your subject matter is 
very specialized and hence it's not that widely appealing. One tactic 
that people use it to visit other similar blogs and leave insightful 
comments on the articles there, adding your own blog address at the end 
of the comment. -
This is a whole new world to me.  Can you suggest anything to make my 
blog function better?
