Nice blog!

I disagree with you saying some of the first things you need to do is establish the rules of the community. I feel like you can wait until the wiki is a bit more active and see how everyone likes doing things, so the rules are created by the community, rather than just by you. I do agree that probably the most helpful thing you can do to help your wiki grow and become more active is to continue creating content, so people will find the site in the first place!

With spam/vandalism, I find it best to follow the Revert, Block, Ignore method. Which is basically, revert their contributions, block the individual and ignore them so as not to feed the trolls. However, I also think you should give people some chances, so maybe give them a warning or something and if they seem sincere give them another shot. However, you do have to eventually draw the line for the health of the wiki. Also remember you can contact the VSTF if you need help with spam/vandalism, and we'll be more than happy to help you out.

All-in-all, it's an a-okay blog! I look forward to seeing what else you cover.
