Thanks for the excellent article. It can be really hard to find a good designer, and blogging is a lead that I use frequently!

Keep writing, cheers!

@cooljaz124,
First of all, good luck. Second of all, be sure to stick it out for a while. It’s pretty hard to tell after just one week how successful your blog is. :)

I always thought of blogging as well and had 2 unsuccesful blogs which i stopped after just 1 week of writing. hehe

Now, feels i should start again and it will be great to integrate it to my current site. Wish me luck :)

Thanks Preston. I’ve seen your work progressively get better, and that impressed me. But watching what you’ve done with blogging, has inspired me to do my own. I’ve been doing design, programming, and motion graphics for years but never saw the value in blogging as self-promotion. I don’t know why I never did, but now I do! You’ve truly inspired me.
Thanks again, and keep up the good work.

Thanks, Preston! Great article! I started blogging a little last year, then fully committed myself to blogging at least 2x/week at the beginning of this year. I enjoy sharing, but really, I enjoy learning from others and increasing my knowledge. I know if someone responds to what I’ve read, it’s either because I said something worthwhile and meaningful, or I’ve found a teacher to learn from.

I have only been blogging for about a year, but during this time I feel like I have gained so much valuable insight.

I mainly started just to share work and explain my process, but as I posted more often I found myself growing as a designer. I wanted to be more involved in the community, share my opinion, read others, find inspiration and educate myself. Since blogging, I have started to read about the history of graphic design. I am sharing my findings online and comparing them to things going on it the industry today.

Blogging is something I do for myself. I am not concerned about making money from the site; I just like the idea of contributing. Hopefully it continues.
