Discussion on: What’s a blog?

I've debating what having a blog means too.

And, I think I can mean different things, depending on what you want it to mean.

I see a blog as a personal, yet public subset of the internet. My content tends to be a blend of technical topics and random musings. I'd like it to be more technical (whatever that means)

I see a blog as a place to share what I've learned, what I am learning, where I'm struggling, with the greater developer community.

I can completely relate to this! At the same time, I feel a bit intimidated by all the other blogs out there. What if I'm just making a post that's been repeated a thousand times? Does my voice actually add to the discussion?

I guess we won't really know until we at least try!

Same! What I've learned is that you are a unique person witch unique experience. Want to write a post about a subject? Go for it. It does get easier.

And you're right, we don't know unless we try. I can find an excuse to avoid doing anything, especially writing a blog post.
