The Top 10 Ways to Market Your Book with a Blog continues with Step #3:
3. Participate in the blogosphere: Read and comment on other blogs in your field. This is a prime way to build readership of your blog. It is also a way of getting fresh content for both your blog and for your book.

Don’t worry, you’ll probably find as many bad blogs as good ones; and when you do, you will be inspired to do better. This is just plain Competition 101.
