Want to set up online book tour - any suggestions?

hello,
I'm nearing the end of publishing my second book (first book ended up in paperback & ebook formats). I'd like to set up a blog book tour but I'm not sure how to go about this. Can anyone recommend a strategy for finding blogs to be a guest on, finding bloggers to post on my blog and how to approach these bloggers?
Thanks.

Congratulations on your books, I saw that you've mentioned you have two (I think I saw one of them on Amazon: Winning Web Sites. Looks, good, I'll have to check it out.) I just wanted to mention to you a website I built called AlreadyPublished.com. It's for authors to promote their book. You do so by posting your book's first chapter, giving readers a peek into your book. The site is free and the list of books is growing, so please check it out. :) BTW, good luck with your books!

p.s. You can also check out this blog post on the Already Published Ning Network, I explain how to post your book. You can also learn more about the website there.

Best,
John
