I've been a part of other community blogs, like this one. It helps to
set a calendar, so that no more than 5-7 groups/individuals may post
on any given day. If they choose not to use their day (within a day on
either side of their target), they just don't post that month. For
instance, even with 150 interested individuals/groups, you'd have no
more than 5 posts per day, on average. That's assuming everyone who is
scheduled that day posts that day, which is unlikely. I belong to a
scheduled blog right now, and I make my day about 3 months out of 4.

That was my point. This is something I keep trying to teach authors
new to e-marketing. It's NICE that you have a web site, but what else
are you doing to entice readers to it? Are you using a tag line? Do
you have a MySpace or blog or FaceBook page? Do you cross-link with
other authors? And so on. There are dozens of things you can do
online. You just have to tailor what you do to your comfort zones and
limitations.
