anyone up to making a publicity tutorial for icon sites/journals/communities?

I am asking because i have both an icon site* and an icon journal and i've been trying with nothing but failure to try to get some people to notice it. since we all are icon makers, i was wondering if some of you knew how to remedy this situation because i am too paranoid to put them in most icon communities... especially the ones that don't ask for credit. i mean, it may sound egotistical but i like credit for the work i do.

i would really appreciate any help. i know this may be on the fringe for the group, but i consider it to be related enough.

thanks,
carol

* currently down because of webserver problems. but fixing it soon.
