UD thanks her friend Jeff for suggesting that she add a Share This feature to University Diaries. If you click on the Share This icon at the bottom of each post, you can easily forward the post to people, or put it on Facebook, or Tweet it, or whatever.
UD also thanks her beloved webmistress, Carolyn, for strapping the thing on for her.

A very good addition. It will help you go viral.
Another thing you/Carolyn might consider is activating the RSS feed for comments. Many people use RSS readers to follow blogs, of course, and the RSS feed for UD’s posts is readily available:
feed://www.margaretsoltan.com/?feed=rss2
Most blog platforms (including this one I think) also let you create an RSS feed for the blog’s collected comments. This can make it easier for people to keep track of ongoing discussions even as the associated posts drop below the fold.
