Share your blog! I was literally writing about starting blogs 10 minutes ago (https://jamesg.blog/2024/01/06/the-web-is-yours/).

You can take your blog in whatever direction you want; you can write technical, professional posts, or write about anything else that interests you! No matter what you write about, there is probably someone out there who will be interested in what you have to say. If you share your blog I'll take a look. Now you already have a prospective reader :)

I am unsure the extent to which my personal blog was weighed when I applied for my current job, but generally having a technical blog is a plus. Being able to point to blog posts where you have at least one post on a project you worked on, a bug you fixed, things you have learned, how you solved a problem, etc. is incredibly valuable.
