Yeah. Building a vlaudience is like refinishing an old table. Strip off all the layers until you find the good stuff, then layer by layer, add, take off, add, sand down, until you've made something beautiful.
Layers? 1) Content 2) Comments (yours on others' works) 3) Comments (others' on yours) 4) Community - add something to a community 5) Continuity - stick with it 6) Quote - play with others' works - link-love 7) People - face time with people 8) Press I mostly think of this as a vortex that is small at the bottom and grows larger as you move through it in time.
