Thank you Emma! I find this very useful especially that I am thinking about getting back to writing again after 2 years of hiatus. My favourite takeway is writing about your passions.

I always find easy to finish up on a blog post on a topic I am excited about indeed.

"If you post it, they will come." I think this is only valid when you are posting community-driven blogging platforms like DEV, Medium, and Freecodecamp just to name a few because technically they are doing the content distribution.

Building a following on a self hosted wordpress blog would be much more challenging because the writer would be also in charge of the content distribution.

I would love to know more about your take on this and your experience on building a self hosted blog :) Also, What's your one tip to make advanced tech posts accessible to the general audience :)
