How to Successfully Promote a Non-Business Blog?
I am thinking about starting up a blog with a proper domain name (e.g. www.myblog.com rather than www.myblog.wordpress.com) and its own web server.
I’m also stuck with Niche ideas? I don’t want to sell anything and bear in mind I work full-time, this blog is merely a hobby to pass my spare time 
I’ve looked on Google but everything can be so vague like ‘write about your hobbies’. I don’t really want to write a blog about writing a blog 
ideas are welcomed!
All the ‘how to promote your blog’ guides I have come across have all been related to web stores or businesses, or something that makes money. Does anyone know how you’d promote?
I have less than 100 friends on Facebook/Twitter (as they are all family/good friends, not ‘networking’ people) and have discovered from experience that asking them to share links and retweet links never works; if I am lucky I’ll have one person do it, but that’s it.
Any other suggestions? I know about meta tagging and adding to search engines, but how do I really drive traffic in?
Thanks
How can my fiance get a job?
My fiance is 25. He finished University last year with a 2:1 honors degree in computer networking and security from the University of Abertay. Currently, he is living outside of Ayr. He has been looking for a job for 9 months. ANY job doing ANYTHING. He has 5 years of retail and factory experience in addition to his degree and he has only been able to find one part time delivery job that lasted one month. Also, he tried to start a freelance web design and computer technician business but didn’t even get one person interested.
Just in this past week he has applied for over a hundred jobs and still no answer. Since he started looking for a job he has applied for thousands. He has absolutely NO standards and will take any job. He has started a twitter and follows recruiters, he has registered with countless job websites, he has begged the job center for help finding work, he puts ads on gumtree and he cold calls companies as well.
Basically we are at our wits end. He is a very smart man, very mature and a very hard worker. A family friend has offered to help him move anywhere in the UK, so he hasn’t limited himself at all. We really need some help and hopefully someone can give us some insight into what he is doing wrong or maybe someone will have a great idea on how to find a job in the UK during this recession. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would really like it to be a one-worder (like: Facebook relatesto a "book" and Twitter for example has a relation to what it does), i would really like to have that approach.
Remember this have to actually go as a .com / ,co.uk so the more uuniqueit is the better.
Sadly I am no good at this, so the more help and ideas the better please!
Thank you,
