Yes. In my opinion, having a blog is as much about learning as it is about sharing information with other people. There's just something about putting your thoughts into words that helps you crystalize certain ideas that float around in your head. For instance, if you read most of Paul Graham's essays, you'll notice that they probably serve more to teach him than to actually share things. Plus, having people read your thoughts serves as a good way to gauge whether you're on the right track or not. If there's something wrong with your idea, believe me someone will let you know. This is why I sometimes submit articles to HN: to get an idea if what I'm writing is of any interest to hackers.
