Blogging in English as a language learning method

I've always had difficulties with writing in English, mainly due to a lacking vocabulary. Generally I have no problem reading English articles online, or having a casual conversation - I consider myself good at spoken English actually, but you could only go so far with all the basic phrases you picked up from watching Youtube.

I tried LingQ, an App that's basically "Anki but with reading articles", which helps. But there's still one obvious missing piece - I need more output practice. Occasionally commenting on Reddit does count, but it's random and fragmented. It's not on par with writing a blog post, where you need to have some sort of a structure when you put them into words.

So here I am, starting this new exercise on my newly established blog. Let's see how this goes.
