On asking job candidates to code

What is your opinion on a technical blog? like http://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/ (note, this is mine)

Is that more or less useful than a github profile?

Just curious.

I think it is about equally useful.

It shows something slightly different than a github profile since it doesn't typically show full projects but both can show off competence pretty well IMO.

Someone with a well written technical blog or good github portfolio is definitely going to have an advantage in any hiring I do.
