wannabe blog advice solicited

[emmanuelle]

We have a new project that seems to be doing nicely, as well as providing an education for us. Balloon Directory is a way for us to let the balloon community know about our updates, and offers them an opportunity to share their personal pics with others (or will once they begin using it).
While it's not exactly a blog, it does have certain similarities. I will be tackling the rss stuff over the weekend- making the rss page pretty, and submitting it to the various aggregators.

I'm inviting any and all advice- this is pretty new to me and I value the experience of you oldtimers. I am also wondering if people will consider it enough of a blog to trade links or submit to their lists?

Thanks in advance!
