When one writes Blog articles the act of the written word can help one grow in a multitude of ways.  You grow as a writer, the mere fact that your work will be available for scrutiny on a global scale helps build a better author out of you, or at least I feel that it should.  Giving voice to an opinion through the media of blogging allows you to build self-awareness and gives the chance for you and the reader to interact on a variety of levels.  Through the addition of comments, you the author are given the chance to interact fully with your readership.  Participation through the comment trail gives the chance to build narrative greed within a set of articles that could ultimately lead to a series to be visited for reference whenever needed.  Most bloggers will admit that some of their best work grew from the lively debate begun through a comment to an originating article.  To write an article one must be prepared to take the feedback in the good nature it is meant. Criticism should be seen as positive and the chance for the seedling article to metamorphose into a possible series from the comment strains that evolve from the original piece.

Comment and feedback allows for lively debate, once your readership grows you open up the chance of business connections through networking or even advertising revenue once the traffic through your blog reaches significant levels that will make the advertiser interested.  Monitor your blog statistics regularly to ensure that you have good statistical data to show any would be advertiser why your blog is a good billboard for their company.  A strong readership with well written articles, regular comments and feedback help build reputations, these are all aspects that will help your blog develop.   For most aspiring writers the medium of the weblog gives the perfect chance to showcase ‘published’ work.
