Congrats on getting a project shipped and taking this step to get more people using it. It's something most people never even accomplish.
The thing I noticed that I would improve upon is simply the blog. It's all about your product and its latest features, but it could be such a better channel for you to reach users and customers.
Open these posts up to all sorts of topics you know something about that your audience is probably also going through. How do I get better at: server monitoring, security, downtime, status communication, setting up DNS, mail, etc.?
Don't neglect helping me get better at being a system admin. If you help me get awesome, you'll have a fan for a long time. I'll be happy to check out products you're selling.
Kathy Sierra has even more on this topic. And it's brilliant:
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. It means a lot! You're right about the blog. Its still new and I will work on opening it up with more topics or even trying to get a guest blogger or two.
