This is a great post. My biggest takeaway:

"If you post it, they will come."

This is incredibly true. About three years ago I started doing Wes Bos' JS30 and I wanted to write about my progress. I was incredibly naive to think I could pull off doing JS30, write about it AND get my university stuff done at the same time so I didn't really get very far. What is amazing, though, is that to this day those handful of posts get hundreds of views every single week on Medium.

I really want to get into blogging again. Not only because I really like writing it, but it helps me get things straight for myself. Writing about stuff helps me verify if I understand something or not. It really is a great way to help yourself while helping others!

Yes definitely! You don't have to blog to be successful, but if you enjoy it, there's a bigger likelihood that others will enjoy your writing too!
