I did this as one of my first things when I was learning ASP.NET. Now I absolutely hate it and intend to move to something else, something pre-built, something which I don't have to maintain. That said: I don't regret building it as it taught me tons and tons of things which was useful when building real world applications. One of the most important things: What is marketing fluff, what can be applied in the real world and what is "easy now, hard later" vs "hard now, easy later". So yeah. Building your own blog can be useful, but it depends on your motivation. If you have enough things to keep you occupied and you are past the need to learn the platform you are working on, I think it's more worthwhile to get something mature and spend your time on something else.
