The Benefits of Blogging: Learning Again
I've been blogging here for going on three years (man, has it been that long?) and it's been been pretty informative. So, since I'm in a bit of a nostalgic mood as the third anniversary approaches, I wanted to share some of my insights on blogging with my fellow progeeks.
I often advise people to try blogging – sure it's not for everyone, but I find it's very useful to pursue, because if it is for you, you'll gain a lot of benefits. So, don't take this as pressuring you towards blogging, but I want to share an interesting professional benefit about blogging as I do–on careers and so forth.
One of the benefits of blogging is that you learn something twice.
Embarrassment In The Time of E-Publishing?
Lately I've been experimenting with online publishing sites as a way to put out an advanced report for the Geek Scanner. That's also had me thinking about how easy it is to publish, and what it means for the embarrassment of publishing something bad.
We've all heard about some meltdown that some author had online, from fanfic writers to professionals (in everything but the "professional dignity" sense). More people are putting stuff out more people are able to read it, so what does it mean for the idea of being embarrassed for putting out something bad?
Know what? I'm not sure. I've wondered about similar issues before, and I'm wondering still.
