A Thread...
It’s almost 1.5 years since I first began blogging!
Who would have thought that the simple decision to begin a blog would have led to so many fantastic outcomes for me.
"A blog is a blank canvas and a virtual home for you to set up however you like."

1) Online Hub
A blog is a place where all the bits and pieces you create and explore in the online and offline world can be housed.
This could include videos, podcasts, articles, links, etc.
You can keep your blogs going year after year.

You can keep your blogs going year after year.
Blogs can keep your virtual world well organized (and they’re searchable!).
In that way, it’s a great way to keep track of
Your thoughts,
Your creations,
and learning which you did in your tech career.
It’s like a digital filing cabinet!

2) Owner of Your Content
There are many blogging websites where you can publish your thoughts.
The fact is though, this can be building on borrowed land.
There can be a lot of uncertainty.
The safest option is to have a blog to house all your work.

3) Creativity
Blogging allows you to be creative!
One of the things I have always loved about the blogging process.
Additionally, blogging lets you express yourself visually through custom themes, headers, photography, layouts, & designs.
There’s an art to that…& it's fun!

4) Social Skills and Confidence
Blogging can allow certain individuals to practice their skills with communication, conversation, empathy, and so on.
These can then be transferred to the “offline world”
It’s essential that developers can communicate well both online & offline.

5) Developing Thinking
Many bloggers talk about the phenomenon where the process of writing down your thoughts helps to straighten out your thinking, develop your thinking, and help you work out what you think.
Personally, I find this to be very true.

6) Authenticity
Blogs provide a much larger audience for your work.
They also offer an avenue for feedback and self-improvement through commenting.
"Motivation seems to increase when developers are writing for a purpose."

7) You have a voice
When publishing online, developers have the chance to have their voices heard
Developers can write about their passions, concerns, their learning
They can start to feel empowered about making a difference in the world & they can help others understand them.

8) Chance to develop connections
I have found this to be one of the most exciting benefits of blogging.
A sense of understanding and tolerance can develop and developers can learn a lot about the tech world in which they want to grow as next-gen developers.

So think about blogging.
Whether it means you find a blog to read, start to write your blog once a week, once a month, or try it out once in your tech career.
I will say it can amount to a lot of reading when you think to do it, but it’s completely worth it for you and them.

My blogging journey:
Started with 🔗 dev.to/tyaga001
Stats: 37K+ views & 500+ followers
Isn’t amazing for a person who never shares before.
Now you think if I never took the courage to start writing, this never happens.
Never do it for stats, do it for yourself

Then my mentor suggested me to start writing on Hashnode, in the start I was a bit not sure about the difference.
After some time I started on Hashnode & I could say one of the best decisions I ever took last year.
It's a unique platform with lots of stuff.
Over 11K+ views.

But soon I started my blogging platform as I want to own my content so I develop a simple word press blog. So that I can control my content & analytics in a much better way.
Since then I first write content on my blog & then cross-post.
