Learning from blogging /Blogging as a form of learning for you and for the tech community

At the beginning of my software testing career, I started capturing my learning as a post in my blog for reference. Initially captured as a post, not an enriched lot on that, Going forward its given me a platform to learn and write about on recent trends in automated testing. This is one way to learn on the new practices and share with others.And posts become a timeline of what I have learned and how I have evolved. My blogs act as resume for me, what technology and tools I worked on. Not a regular writer, but trying to post two in every month and while writing on post never mind on grammatical, first complete that and make it as readable to others. The Initial objective to capture my learnings and now, I can see myself enriched on writing and learning. And now my writing got an improved lot in English and getting better. When I evolved as a writer then its given me platform to pick a new topic and do study, write more on it.
