If you have a blog or other Sun site that you'd like to encourage people to visit, put a link in your email signature!
After all, if I take the trouble to read all the way to the bottom of an email from you, I might see that link and decide that I'd like to know more about you. Without a link, I'll never know that you have a blog, and I won't take the initiative to go and look for one. (Unless I really, really like you.)
If you post on industry-related public forums, take the time to set up an automated signature (most forums allow this) with your blog/site URL. In this way, every time you post you create a link back to Sun, which in some (admittedly small) way determined by search algorithms increases our online "authority". And it might lead to direct traffic back to your blog, from someone who reads your brilliant forum postings and thinks, "Hey, I'd like to read more from this person."
NB: There doesn't seem to be a way to set up an automated signature in OpenSolaris.org forums as yet; I am looking into whether this could be done.
