Do blogs pull up in search engines such as Google or Yahoo, or do I have to do a special submission of the url to the search engines? Are blogs only viewable when logged into blog communities?

I wanna get my blog into the mainstream. HELP!

Your blog will appear in the search engines; submitting the URL to Google or Yahoo will ensure that it appears a bit more quickly. Your blog is viewable by the world at large, not just this community.

How do you reach the masses? Write something that appeals to the masses. Then tell as many as you can about it: friends, coworkers, family. If you were a business, you would obviously go the next step which would be to advertise. If your blog is a personal one, you will have to work very hard to get it into the so-called mainstream. Not impossible, but for a personal blog I would personally not set that as a criteria for success.

I would highly recommend this article:

for advice on improving your weblog and attracting more attention to it.
