Hi guys,
Yes, I know, where have I been? I finally signed up on Facebook and Twitter. I updated my signature, but what next? Sorry a total newbie in this realm. What do you guys do with your social media accounts in regards to your blog? I added Sexy Bookmark links below my posts, but haven't figured how to fully utilize my newly created accounts.
Thanks!
Buck

You want to take your new posts and place links to them on Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks. This will help drive traffic to your site.

If you're talking about things like Digg, Reddit, Stumble Upon etc…they key is to share other people's articles, not your own. Then network and work with other folks in sharing votes. A lot of sharing sites don't like when you sub your own stuff.
Twitter and Facebook – Share and like other people's stuff and your own. Connect with friends, grow your network.
There's a thread here somewhere that has most of our Facebook links in it.

But I don't know how to make friends and follow people! Boy, I feel like I'm back in elementary school.

You just got another Twitter follower and FB friend (once you accept)! Be sure to create a Facebook page for your blog (a business page like this one: http://www.facebook.com/knsfinancial).
For twitter, just do what others have said, follow people and begin to promote their posts and network with them. Here is a pretty comprehensive list of Yakezie Twitter accounts: http://twitter.com/#!/Bucksome/yakezie/members – Just go down and click "follow" next to everyone's name. Many/most of them will follow you back and then comes the *fun* part!

Totally agree. I get a lot of traffic from Reddit. There is Personal Finance page set up. Stumble also drives some of my traffic.
With FB and Twitter – get friends and followers. The more people you follow, the more will follow you. Put some good quality tweets out there, not just your own stuff.
Also following you now on Twitter. Now you have 7 followers!

Craig said it already, but really share other people's posts on these sites. It will encourage them to share your's in th future. I had a Reddit post take off about 2 weeks ago, and got over 200 views in one day!
