Presumably most people that will respond to this post will have some sort of interesting occurrence as a result of their blog (seeing as that is what is requested by OP). Just to counterweight the sampling bias here, I will add that my personal website/blog hasn't done much for me professionally. That said, it's been great for me personally to have someplace to write ideas, experiences, and project write-ups. While I originally built it to serve a professional purpose, it really has been nice to have a place to essentially journal and write down/flesh out ideas (although lots of them are really stupid). zachbellay.com -- if you're curious
