Lost in the Blogosphere

So how does one go about getting people to read and comment on one's blog? Right now, I feel my blog is rather silly. Who cares what I've got to say about anything? And the lack of comments just prove that correct. But I suppose when any of us sit down and create a blog, the key motivating factor is internal, not external. We have thoughts we want expressed, but we want to carefully express them. And we want them clarified so that someone else reading them has a clue what we're going on about.
So as far as writing instruction, blogs are definitely a 21st century learning tool that need incorporation. However, to truly and effectively incorporate blogs, at what point in the educational hiearchy do we start teaching keyboarding? I know in Virginia it isn't an "SOL" (Standards of Learning), so the time devoted to it in instruction is zero. We have a typing program on our server, yet I don't see teachers using that for "free time." Instead, they let the kids get on the computer and play games (most of which have some tie to education). But for our digital natives, keyboarding needs to go side by side with Denalian lettering if we hope to tap into 21st century learning technology.
