I had just begun blogging with my students five years ago when I took a position with eMINTS. It's all about the content. Don't make your blog be a catch-all for just any kind of writing or discussion you want to happen online. Give your blog a focus. This makes it coherent as one post connects to the last.

https://emintswincon.wordpress.com/2012/02/24/tips-and-tricks
Widgets, Gadgets, and Add-Ons. On: February 24, 2012. It’s all about the content. All the fancy gadgets and embedded media in the world won’t make up for a lack of high-quality content. Great blogs feature great ideas. Conversely, low-level blog posts and discussions produce low-level engagement. Quantity vs. Quality:. It’s not impossible to have both, but you may have to quit your day job. Consider your organization criteria (tabs, categories, pages) from the beginning. Writing improves with practice.

Zac Early's eMINTS Conference Blog: What do blogs have to offer?
http://zacearlyemintsconference.blogspot.com/2012/02/what-do-blogs-have-to-offer.html
Zac Early's eMINTS Conference Blog. Friday, February 24, 2012. What do blogs have to offer? Why should we blog or even allow our students to blog? I brainstormed a few reasons below.

So, h...
