But then why blog? Why not just journal in a notebook or on your "notes" app and be done?

  You can definitely do it in a private journal and would likely experience many of the same effects. But putting it online gives other people a chance to learn from it.

    If the blog has a commenting feature, it also provides the author with an opportunity to learn from the readers.

  Absolutely journal privately... then, curate journal entries into blog posts. Information wants to be free.

  Sometimes because publishing helps people stick to doing it. Sometimes because publishing forces someone to a higher standard of care. Sometimes because the mere possibility of feedback or a connection is worth it. :)
