Consider arranging your website as a gallery of writing samples, rather then as a blog.

Then as you create a writing which you wish to put in this gallery (writing for which you have sole ownership and publishing rights), contact bloggers who already blog on the subject of this particular writing and ask if they would post it on their site (as a guest writer). Many bloggers will be happy for the free content. When you find someone who is willing, arrange to publish your writing on both sites (yours and theirs) on approximately the same day. Let them have first publication rights, if they insist; but push your writing to your own site within a few days of it being published elsewhere.

Finally, make sure that every guest writer blog, which you have published on other blogger's sites, has a prominent link back to your gallery, where further samples of your writing can be found.
