The Fuelmyblog.com site has been developed to enable people to publicise their blogs free of charge.

The idea is that readers vote for their favourite blogs, as well as finding new blogs to read. The sections include business/technology and news/politics, as well as general lifestyle and personal categories.

A spokesman for the site said:

"I aim to increase the size of the site by reinvesting revenue generated in the future from paying advertisers and sponsors.

"At the moment Fuelmyblog.com is registering more than 100,000 hits a day, a figure which continues to rise."
