You will get some ideas from the following conversation on Twitter:

@dreamingspires: I realised that a previous problem in my blog was that I was writing for people more qualified than me – instead of health professionals just starting out.

@DrVes: One of the best approaches to educational blogging is to write for yourself as you learn or write for beginners – which is basically the same thing.

@dreamingspires: good advice – as an(ex)publisher suddenly having to write myself as opposed to hiding behind someone else doing it is… a learning process.

@DrVes: Did Twitter help?

@dreamingspires: Twitter helped in the sense of connecting me into a community, I didn’t ‘micro-blog’ though.

@DrVes: Twitter makes you more comfortable to write in public – you don’t have to “micro-blog”…

@dreamingspires: This IS true and my experience – it reduced my stage fright!

@DrVes: Also, you may have micro-blogged on Twitter or somewhere else without even knowing it… I set up my blog posts to publish automatically in the future — it may help with your “stage fright”.

@dreamingspires: To be honest I am unsure what micro-blogging is — specific tweets on a topic like you do, or a mini conversation? Yes, I also now autopublish via Twitter feed, and now using Stumble too. OK – microblog is an ‘opinion’/link/statement.

@DrVes: Anything you post on Twitter is micro-blog as long it’s not only replies… A comment on a comment is not a blog. I think you qualify as a fully-fledged blogger and microblogger now…

@dreamingspires: You mean I’ve MADE IT?! Newbie happiness.

@DrVes: It’s official: You’ve made it. You’re a blogger now. Expect you share of nasty comments and spam…
