I got into blogging as a hobby, but it has now become something more of a job. Once you get more popular you have a certain requirement to provide people with good articles, which is one of the reasons why I merged my personal blog with my atheist blog. It gave me an excuse to expand my topic base whilst making it easier for me, since I only write one blog not two.
The main focus of the blog is atheism and religion, especially the debunking of certain theist claims. I also talk a bit about atheism in England, related to my student organization. I also run an online monthly book club. My personal blog side deals with a load of tech stuff and my life at uni.
I promote my blog though Digg, StumbleUpon, the Atheism subreddit, and The Atheist Spot (atheistspot.com). A lot of people link to my blog though so I get quite a bit of traffic that way.
Favourite aspect of blogging is getting comments, because every blogger is a readership whore at heart. Comments are good for getting feedback, but also for allowing debate between people. I only get involved with comments if I feel strongly against the view espoused in them.
