The experiences of writing online: What comes with the territory?

I have found, that writing fiction online, at least to start with, doesn't just earn you a reader-base from the start (I already knew that, but man it sucks!). One has to put the word out in various ways to gain the readers one wants. So to try and widen that, I started with this blog, which between you and me, I feel silly about simply because I'm one of those people who think bloggers just want attention, and now I am amongst them. (Yes, please, I want all the attentions!!)
For me writing a blog I guess, is about letting people who would like to either, a. start writing fiction, or non-fiction for that matter, see what the process is like, and let them get an insight how to make their transition easier and b. it's for those who actually read my work, to see what's going on in my mind when I write those things and to question me about the writing, and to let me see, as an author, what I'm doing right, and more importantly, how I can fix what I am doing wrong. This for me, is what I believe I'm doing here, with this blog, right now, correct me if I'm wrong though.
Now, not only do I write this blog when it suits me, but I have also decided on writing a few other anecdotes elsewhere. http://myonlinefiction.webs.com/ Is where I'll post a few bits and bobs.
This is not an entirely knew experience for me. I had to do an online journal for my highschool years 11 and 12, where I wrote a few things down, unfortunately I've deleted that site, although most of the writing I put up there will be going onto my new site. But the point there was that while writing online for other peoples pleasure is a new experience for me, writing fiction online isn't, and that as I have used webs before, I actually know what I'm doing, and what I'd like to do with it. *Surprise* So there it is, my little tangent for today. and remember if you'd like to see more of my writing, simply use the donate button, and I'll be more than happy to provide you with a never before seen piece of writing, from me, and with a simple message, you can let me know if you want it NSFW or something a little bit more tame, and I'd be willing to customize to a character of your choice, although custom made characters, nothing out of books with a few exceptions. So feel free nosey around, but I currently don't have much up there, also know that if you donate $10 or more, I'll provide you with the next 2 chapters of Ivory Von, $15 next 3 Chapters of Ivory Von and a custom piece of writing, anything over $25 will get you the next 5 chapters on Ivory Von, a piece of custom writing and a sneak peek never before seen writing on a story I'm currently writing with the working title, Children of the Night. $50 dollars and over, you get the $25 deal, plus a drawing of a dragon from me :)
