I started a technical/tutorial Rails blog (codewithrails.com) about a month ago. I’ve mostly just shared links in places where Rubyists and Rails dev hang out.
For content, I mainly blog because it’s a useful way for me to understand things. If I can explain it, I’ll have a better understanding.
Whether people find it useful, well that’s a personal question and point of view. But I’ll continue to share what I’ve learned myself both for the community and as notes for my future forgetful self.
So far, people have been discovering my blog through word of mouth and them sharing it to their friends.
I think you will need to apply an internal litmus test. For me, I ask myself whether what I’ve written and shared would be something I’d want to read myself.

How do you share your links without looking like a spammer?
