One more important aspect - You help yourself.

We tend to forget things quickly if we are not repeating them. For example setting up SSL on your site. But if you write about it, you can always quickly refer back.

You can always keep notes for such things but since a blog is targeted towards public, you will try to write in detail as much as you can which ultimately results in good informational text.

This is true! I have many times referred to some of my old blog posts in order to get something done I know I have done, but can't just remember how. And the fact that you write towards public results in good and concise writing. Thanks!
