Neuro is a cool area to be in right now. Are you going into the computational or more of the biological side?
I just got out of the computational side a short while ago. I didn't blog about it much since there is a lot of background which you need to explain for most numeric methods (not to mention all the time needed to provide good instructive data visualizations).
I've tried a few different iterations of posting content to my site. Initially it was editing raw HTML, then a small custom common lisp app, then there was a short lived rails project which I forked from the original dev, then there was a brief stint using ikiwiki, and now I'm using jekyll on my site for the blog side of things.
Per the current workflow I typically get a seed idea when I'm actively working on a topic and have a bunch of loose notes. Then I formulate the core idea of what can be conveyed to readers (and myself when I look at things months/years later) with pencil/paper. Next I typically transcribe things to an AsciiDoc document, build figures with Julia scripts or in a jupyter notebook, and edit a bunch. Once things are looking decent I use jekyll's auto-rebuild feature and built-in server for semi-final tweaks/formatting. Finally I commit it and verify that everything looks fine on my remote server. Some of the better posts I've made are collected at http://fundamental-code.com/ http://fundamental-code.com/ to give you an idea for the results.
