Pretty much what I do, and I find it works quite well, mostly for three reasons
1) I actually give a damn about what I’m writing about, since I had to scrape the brains off of my skull for at least a few hours to figure it out and implement it.
2) I know what to write, since I just went through it, know why I did, and what it’s value was (for me, at least).
3) Since it took me so long, the answer probably isn’t available, or at least easy to find, online, so others are more likely to benefit from it.

- corobo 5y ago2 is why new people should write blog posts too! Ancient greybeards went through what you went through so long ago they've forgotten it. New perspective is valuable e: of course don't rely on it for income. As soon as your post becomes popular the spam blogs rewrite it and outcompete you on SEO. Got a couple months rent out of Windows 8 wifi randomly disconnecting :)
