Okay, if you want me to comment, here's what I do. However it doesn't guarantee results.

1. I use wordpress blogging software on CrazyEngineers domain. Those who are serious about blogging (and making a mark in the blogging world, please get your own domain!)

2. I use simple URL rewrite mod (inbuilt in recent versions of Wordpress). A clean url attracts search engines.

3. Try to have the 'keywords' in the URL itself. It helps.

4. Add engaging content. Develop timeless, eternal content. Have a theme for your content. Update frequently - minimum 2-3 times a week.

5. Don't scare people by using complicated words.

6. Generate backlinks. Use your blog link in forum signatures, comment on other's blogs, link it in your email signature etc.

7. Don't write on topics that are 'too common'. This is tricky.

Term SEO is grossly misunderstood. You can't force Google/Yahoo/MSN to list your posts on the first page. The only way is to attract them to your blog by following all/few of the tips I mentioned above.

I hope this helps. Let the questions flow in. I'll try to answer them.
