Blogging is a great way to share your voice with the world.
It can give you the ability to spread ideas to people all around the world. One
beneficial outcome of blogging is branding. Employers today tend to use the
internet to scout out potential employees, so having a
large footprint on the internet is important to stay competitive. Reading someone’s blog can tell you a lot
about the person. It can show how well the blogger can write or even how the blogger might think.
Other people blog to educate others in ways mainstream media cannot. A good blog for programmers is Alfred Thompson's blog
(http://blog.acthompson.net/). Thompson is a computer science teacher that blogs about his opinions and tips on programming. At first it might seem a little bland, but he actually makes some interesting points. He talks about interesting topics you can only find in blogs like his.
There are
also people who do it just for fun. I initially started this blog as a
requirement for a class but it became much more than that. Writing became a
form of expression for me. I was not expecting people to read my posts; it just
felt good putting my thoughts down online. I am blogging now because I simply enjoy
it and I hope you can find your own reason to blog.

Beside sharing opinion, you can also advertise your business website (if you have one) though your blog, but make sure your blog is constructive and useful; otherwise, people might think it is spam. I think the blog is great but you should include your personal experience at beginning of the post.
