Don't know if this is the right topic to post this thread on...

I love sounddesign, mostly programming synths, and I've experimented with it for a long time and got better and better.
Now I want to start my own blog about it. There I'll post clips of my new programmed/layered sounds, discuss, and simply network etc.
Though I don't know where to begin...

To start with, what blogsite would you recommend? Like a usual blogspot blog?
I'm planning to start a new Soundcloud account to upload the sounds and then just link them in the posts I make.

How should I proceed to make people find my blog? I mean of course I can tell my friends and post about it on the forums I'm active at, but are there more ways that I might have forgotten?

Could there be hard competition in the "market" (or how I should call it) for these kind of blogs, and if so how can I stand out from the rest?

I bet I sound pretty retarded, but I feel a lot confused.

Thanks.

I'd recommend starting a Wordpress blog - there are loads of templates, and it's highly customizable...

Regarding competition, there are already many sound design blogs and tutorials of magazines and tons of sound design videos at Youtube, so you have to deliver something extraordinary to get heard...

You can stand out by concentrating on a certain aspect of sound design or certain music styles.

Do people right now, before you proceed, care about what you think? If you are known for what you have done as regards these topics, they naturally would care to read about your process.

If it's more by way of conversation than 'look at me', engage people on their blogs.

Also, Facebook.
