You might even be asking yourself, “Where do I even start?” If you find yourself in this position, the point of this blog is to help break down the whole process into something a little more easily digestible. Once you know some of the fundamental building blocks, the actual writing process will be a lot easier. But before diving into how to create a blog, I will briefly discuss why you should write one.

Why You Should Write a Technical Blog
There are many benefits to writing a technical blog and not only for the sole purpose of helping others. If you’re still on the fence, then here are five reasons why you should seriously consider creating one.
- The best way to learn something is to teach others the knowledge that you have gained. Regurgitating that information will solidify it more firmly in your mind.
- You are providing value where you work while building your own. Your company will appreciate that you went out of your way to show others how to solve a particular problem that you came across.
- You are practicing your critical thinking skills. Doing research, collecting data, and formulating that information into something comprehensible to others, all require you to use critical thinking. It’s like a muscle: when you exercise that part, you become much more efficient and quicker at figuring out problems.
- Part of being a valued employee entails being an effective communicator. Displaying this in a blog is an easy way to showcase this skill or improve on if you are lacking. It’s one thing to solve a problem on your own, but it’s quite an entirely different process when you have to convey an idea that is easily understood by a wide array of people.
- Last but not least, potential recruiters now more than ever go online to see what cool projects you have worked on in the past. This is a great opportunity to put some of your work out there to the public. They will be impressed that you actively took the time to research and then share that knowledge with an online audience.
