You could put a link to your blog in your PerlMonks signature. My blog isn't exclusively Perl, but it is about Perl, as well as FOSS.
I think this would work on several levels. (1) It's self interest/promotion, the great motivator of capitalist economics. Plus, it's good sense marketing to a targeted niche. (2) It uses the "ranking" power of PerlMonks in search engines. A keyword search that matches a PerlMonks conversation has a better chance of coming up in the first result set. A better chance of people coming upon your wit and wisdom. :) (3) Rewards good content. That is -- write a good post, get on the front page, get linked from elsewhere. PerlMonks benefits, and you benefit, because you get rank, as well as a number of "curiousity" click-throughs as people see your link and maybe check it out. You never know. You might get some subscribers out of it. (4) More nodes mean more links back to your blog and PerlMonks gets higher aggregate participation. XP is a means to prevent "spam" posts that just say something inane without adding value.
A blog among millions.
