Please, no. Don't blog about things you don't understand yet. We have far too many people and LLMs doing that. After you really understand it, then consider blogging.
One of my favorite blogs[0] is interesting because the author, Julia Evans, often writes about her learning experiences and is very transparent about mistakes made and where she still doesn't understand things. It becomes very fun, driven by curiosity, and not pretending to be an expert at everything she touches.

Do you really mean this? Or do you mean "When you blog, be honest. Don't pretend to understand things you don't."?
Blogging about things you are learning about, especially if you invite feedback, is a great way to learn and to build a shared understanding within a larger community.
But I agree 100% on the fake-it-till-you-make-it posts on blogs and LinkedIn. That stuff is a blight on the web.
ADDED a concrete example: Consider this post: https://blog.moertel.com/posts/2026-07-23-on-the-nature-and-.... Do you think that posts like this are useful? Or net harmful?
The author does outline the steps they take to make it clear
> Third, I try to make it clear on my blog who I am and what my credentials actually are. Even if it’s not explicitly described in the post, I have my real name and resume available on my /about page, so I don’t think a careful reader could be easily fooled into thinking I’m an expert on 19th-century England or space physics or LLM economics or anything like that.
If however that part is hidden and it is some confidently incorrect or pseudo guru type of post that is polluting the web with misinformation, then that is a different story.
Maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio is important to some people, and they may completely disregard the musings of people outside their field of expertise.
