A couple of reasons (for me anyway)
1) Main reason is that if I've spent time working something out, I can save other people the time doing that, by writing down the details in a searchable place.
2) If I want to explain something to someone, it's easy if I can just point them to a blog I've already written
3) (bit of an unintended consequence) It helped get me my last two jobs :D Being able to point to a long history of technical blog posting was relevant when I got a job in advocacy as that's one of the necessary skills.
