Remove the "Yui loves rain...it's their live" alert box, it pisses me off after a while.

Add blog to [URL="http://www.technorati.com"]Technorati[/URL] and to good link exchanges such like [URL="http://www.blogdumps.com"]BlogDumps[/URL] and a couple of others (check the homepage in my profile, on tis sitepanel you can see where I am listed).
Then you can also add your site to a couple of directories, etc and install [URL="http://google.com/analytics"]Google Analytics[/URL] to see how and from where your visitors are come, what they read the most, etc.

You also should do link exchange with other blogs!
