I started blogging this year, and so far, it's been a lot of fun! Most of what I write is a mix of personal projects and opinions. I recommend keeping a target audience in mind, ideally someone you actually know - in my case, I write for my friends from undergrad. I can't guarantee that you'll get job offers from your blog, but I've certainly received some nice emails. I got an offer because of a project I did before I started a blog, though.

I've gotten a little negative feedback, but that's by far in the minority. Most people on the internet are very nice and I've gotten lots of friendly emails from people I've never met. Definitely give it a try - I would suggest doing a github.io page to get started, but you can of course go the self-hosted route if you're into that sort of thing.
