I just try out the steps above on last Friday except Flickr for photo hosting because i am using blogger.com service, it's easier to upload photo directly. I can see that my blog's traffic is increasing and hopefully can boost up to 1100 visitors before end of this month Aug 2007.

For BLOggERs that using blogger.com or blogspot.com, the service provider not support trackback function yet, but you can using another plugin service provider called Haloscan. See how to register and install Haloscan for your free blogspot.com to boost up your BLOG traffic.
