I made my own blog and it crashed and burned before it even got off the ground. I don't know why I wanted to do this, probably because I read somewhere that you can make money with a blog by running ads. Anyways, I spent some time coding up a blog only to realize it wasn't SEO friendly.
So then I just moved it over to WordPress and from there ended up writing a series of mediocre articles that I posted on Reddit. I got downvoted a lot, and I stopped believing I had anything creative to write about, so I quit. RIP
