Dosh Dosh: If you’re looking to break new ground with your blog this year, you should read 16 Effective Strategies to Expand Your Blog’s Reach in 2008. It suggests some ideas you may not have heard of or thought about like cloning your blog.

TechTreak: Here’s something that takes minimal space on your blog while informing your readers of tips you want to share.
