If you blog about a technical subject, it certainly helps you learn it better yourself. Amazing how many times I've been writing a blog post or article on something I thought I knew really well, only to discover new things, and solidify it in my own mind.
Can it help getting a job? Yes - if it is good. Getting to an interview and having the interviewer realise you';re the guy that wrote that blog they read and used some code from (it happened to me) is a great way of putting you one step up the ladder.
