Weblog Usability: The 10 Top Ten Design Mistakes: here's a great article that is written with text based blogs in mind but is just as applicable to photoblogs.

If yours is the first one they hit will it be a good experience or will they be turned off by not knowing accepted photoblog structures?
While you're visiting check out the following other useful articles:

Given the tragedy unfolding in Pakistan, India and Afghanistan today, if you know of photoblogs (or for that matter, any sites at all) that are starting to post, please use the comments area here to provide a link. Some images are starting to show up on flickr as well. Here are three simple searches to start:

We're excited to announce that the first issue of Lightleaks Magazine is now on sale.
For information on how to purchase click here: Lightleaks Magazine
We realize international shipping via Lulu.com is a tad high. We're working on other solutions.
For now, Lulu.com offers free shipping for orders of 25.00 or more.
One remedy for eliminating the high international shipping cost might be buddying up with someone in your area, purchasing two copies to get the free shipping option, then splitting the cost.
All proceeds above printing costs go to keeping toycamera.com online.
Thanks!

I was looking at some amazing images from Chernobyl after a friend sent me a link. I know there have been other pages of images from there so I began wondering how someone would get there because damn, those abandoned and decaying places are photographic manna. Plus it's just a part of history and, even if it's a sanitised tour, a challenging place to go.
I found a tour company in Kiev that arranges tours of the restricted zone for $100 each for 4 people. Flights to Kiev are less than £200 from London, going through Budapest, which is a nice place to stop off on the way.
I've travelled a lot and I'm still not sure if I'm seriously considering this or not, but the idea is compelling
