I really don't care that much about blogs a writer might have. I've checked out the blogs of perhaps three writers that I like a lot, and I don't read them regularly by any means.

So for me, a reader, blogs simply don't matter. I tend to find out fast enough if a new book has come out by a writer I like, and I'm not honestly interested in knowing too much about them. Unless I meet them at a con or workshop of some kind, but even then I'm not reading their blogs. All three of the unnamed writers mentioned above I've met personally, but that still doesn't inspire me to follow their blogs.

But if you're comfortable blogging, absolutely do it.
