I've been trying out blogging communities for a while as a way to bring people to my shop and gain interest in my own blog.

The two I've used the longest are kaboodle.com and blogher.comKaboodle does take some time to gain traction as you need to build a network. Blogher however doesn't require anything on your part other than to post an article. I can easily get a 100 views to one article without it even being featured on blogher.

I have most recently signed up momblognetwork.com - same general concept as blogher but for moms - and zimbio.com Both of these communities pull your posts directly from your blog. Momblognetwork requires nothing else on your part though if you promote yourself there there's a better chance of being featured. Zimbio also pulls your articles direct from your blog, but you do need to go in and publish them from your queue into the correct zine category.
