Hey Guys, well both I look at both the basics to setting up and using a blog platform like wordpress and include video tutorials you can access. Although there are plenty available on the web I had to create some before for an internet training course.
But the real focus of blogging to better English is to help students reach out and make friends with native speakers who share their hobbies and passions. I think it was Ed that posted the link to an article about not having so much diversity in your reading. Instead focusing on specific topics. I believe this is correct, because if you read something that you're interested in then you're more likely to read not only more but with increased focus. Same goes for speaking and well blogging. If you're from Japan and you like origami, well there are native speakers who also like origami and if you post interesting information about it on your blog they may see it and comment and begin the foundation of a friendship based on mutual interests. Over time you may develop many longtime friendships that go beyond the scope of your English studies benefiting both you and them. I hope this helps answer some of your questions. If you have more please don't hesitate to ask.
