Some get you more links in exchange for your visiting other blogs. I've tried that and get more click but the average length of stay from that traffics is barely over the minimum required to register the visit with the system. Traffic, yes. Good traffic? Probably not. Yes, forums on the sites can be helpful but probably not as helpful as SitePoint, or WebDeveloper.com. Beyond that, if you just want to feel part of something, then go ahead, just don't expect meaningful links coming back to you. There are blog communities and blog communities.

I think most blog networks have standards for letting people into them (b5media, 451press, etc) so I don't know if it is something everyone can take advantage of. Perhaps you could elaborate on that. I created a <a href="http://www.theblogexperiment.com/blog-forum/" rel="nofollow">Blog Forum</a> last month where bloggers could come together and be part of a community that is dedicated to helping each other. A big reason I did this was because of the sense of community I felt being a member here at SitePoint. Another thing to consider is joining a blogging community or forums.

There are several blog networks that are looking for bloggers. I would start looking at <a href="http://jobs.problogger.net" rel="nofollow">jobs.problogger.net</a>.
