Blogging Experience

Just like writing for a byline is a great way for writers to get experience and add a job to their portfolio, so is blogging. Blogging gives you an example site where you can post good writing. You can also write in your writing portfolio that you maintained a blog for so many months. The only downside to this is that the upper class writing jobs or writing jobs offline could care less about blog writing. Before that discourages you, there are many online writing jobs that accept blogs as a writing job. They may also like to click on one site and read several of your samples rather than go through all your word documents you send them. Also, writing a blog may help you develop your web writing skills and possibly your research skills for deeper topics. Again, personal blogs like I have mentioned above should never be added to your online writing resume.
