A good blog contains information worth sharing - topical, important, personal, etc. It should be written with a target audience in mind. Good blogs are well-written, concise, organized and current.
A blog could provide students with suggestions, tips, study points -- anything that could enhance the lesson and provide multiple exposures to the material (important in math). A blog would enhance my existing web presence well beyond my faculty picture by providing an interactive resource for students to obtain additional information, to exchange information and to provide feedback to me: what they understand, where they need additional help.
Blogs are obviously an easy way to publish (just hit the "Publish" button!). However, simply publishing isn't everything: as a blogger, you need to attract readers -- otherwise, it's pointless.
