This blog is a special edition because it is my 100th blog! I will explain what this blog has given me in the past five years. If you are planning to start a blog of yourself, you may use this list of benefits in order to get you motivated to get started. 1. Introduction In the beginning of September, I already celebrated the fifth anniversary of my blog. Now I publish my 100th blog and I am pretty proud of it. It seems not so long ago that I started my blog, but on the other hand, it also feels like I am doing this for a long time. At least, I cannot imagine a life without my blog anymore. In the beginning, I really suffered of the imposter syndrome: I posted blogs, but did not let anyone in my direct environment know that I had a blog. After a few months, I let this feeling behind myself and let the world know that I write technical content. In those five years, I only had one or two negative comments, but many positive comments and I really do not bother about the negative ones. In the next section, I will try to list some of the benefits of a technical blog and if you would like to start with a blog yourself, do read Why Start a Technical Blog. Enjoy this post and up to the next five years! 2. Benefits Gain knowledge, share knowledge, be visible 2.1 Knowledge The main benefit is acquiring knowledge. I have noticed that experimenting with some technology gives you good insights but it is different when you also need to write it down. When you write it down, or need to explain it, you have to dig a bit deeper in the technology. It pushes you to go one step further. 2.2 Sharing Knowledge A side benefit of acquiring knowledge is that you can share it. Although it is a consequence of acquiring knowledge, it deserves its own mention because it is evenly important. Even if one person has got some benefit by reading your post, it was worth writing and sharing. I often refer to my own blogs when I need to explain something to colleagues. If I did not write it down, I always have to transfer my knowledge verbally. Besides that, I also need to remember what I investigated a few years ago. My memory is not that good but I can remember that I wrote a blog about the topic. I even read my own blogs again now and then. 2.3 Visibility Here we have the imposter syndrome again. Do not be afraid to be visible. It will bring you only advantages. People will appreciate what you are doing and will know that you learn many new things. It is also beneficial for your career and open doors that otherwise remain closed. Opportunities will pass by as long as you blog consistently. 3. List of Blogs As a bonus, you can find a list of all the blogs I have written the past five years, ordered by oldest first.
