I found myself saying the following a few times during #CSSDay when chatting to people about blogging, so here it goes: If you want a blog but don’t believe you have anything to share, I suggest creating a monthly post of a roundup of articles you read and recommend.

Backlinks and webmentions build connections.

Why share technical stuff online? You never know how they may become useful to others! 10 months ago I found a fix to an Eleventy issue I had.

Bookmarked Why Engineers Need To Write by Ryan Peterman 
Post details
I hated writing in high school. It wasn’t objective like my favorite subjects, math and science. It also didn’t help that we had to write about old, hard-to-understand literature like Shakespeare. But my perspective on writing changed once I started working full-time as a software engineer.

I'd probably say my use of my blog to record info for future me - I technical blog about a lot of things that end up saving me time in the future as I just need to vaguely remember if I've done it before and I can look up my articles. Helps that a tonne of other people gain value from my blogging too!
