I would warn anybody: if you open a blog you must have time to write and as much time to research your pieces: one thing is to commment news from every part of the world, sharing useful ones, one other is to make news and opinions in first person.

Otherwise one could have a personal blog dedicated to one's thoughts and musings, it is a very nice things but again the writer walks a fine line: it must be interesting and well made, even if updated more rarely with rspect to blogs that are politically oriented.

The web is already full of unuseful personal blurb, so anybody wishing to take such enterprise should think twice, because he or she should grant a decent qualitative level, making sure to have something to say that could be interesting for others.

Ok, preach made.

As for myself, I couldn't take any serious initiative before our electoral campaign ends in April, I'm already working so and so on the regular forum.

That's the main reason I've never had a blog. I'm very uneducated and I'll have to spend a lot of time researching just to write a few meaningful lines. I feel like there's people out there (in this forum and outside it) that can express the ideas I uphold much better than I would.
