When I ask them about their blogging adventures, they readily admit that they only write when they’re out of work to promote their freelance work. That’s not a blog. That’s corporate sales. Things like Blogging For Devs make my stomach turn. I’m glad it helps people get into blogging, but please, stop thinking about SEO and how to “build a resume”. Again, that’s not blogging. That’s corporate sales. Sure, nothing wrong with a bit of self-promotion, but if it ain’t nothing but that, to me, it’s not worth reading it.
