blog

A  blog  (or weblog ) is an online journal or diary typically written by one person (there are some group blogs) about whatever subjects they wish (like science or politics), usually on its own domain, often a personal IndieWeb site; blog or blogging is also the act of posting to a blog.

Why
There are many reasons to start and regularly post a personal or perhaps semi-professional blog.

Keeping a blog of things you are learning and have learned is a commonly touted thing of interest to prospective employers as well as a chance to demonstrate some the skills you have and acquire.

Blogging about what you learn as you learn also demonstrates curiosity, self-motivation, and an interest in actively learning & growing new skills, all of which are strong positives for creatives of all types.
