I've blogged on and off since finishing college 11 years ago. Some posts about programming got millions of hits.
But this was mostly a decade ago. Today it is very difficult to find readers for blogs. This is due to:
1. Professional content-farms having thoroughly won the SEO game.
2. A shift in people's media consumption preferences from text to video and podcasts/audio-books
This year I replaced all my blogging with YouTubing and am finding it vastly easier to build an audience and connect with people.
I don't see myself going back to blogging and would strong recommend vlogging or podcasting instead. Be a person of your times.
