If I had to explain in two sentences my thoughts on writing and blogging it would be - "I totally love it!!!" and "Why the heck am I not doing it?!". Pretty crazy right? It's interesting that it applies to many others.
Although I don't blog that much, I try to express my thoughts somehow, so devmag and Quora are the main places that satisfy my hunger for communication, sharing and writing. (There are several other places, but that is another story)
So, you want to start blogging? I have only one thing to say to you:

It takes courage to make the step. Questions like "Will they like my articles?", "Did I explained it well enough?" and "Am I the only one reading my blog?" will emerge from the deepest, darkest parts of your mind and will chase you till your death! Death I tell you!!! Well, I overreacted a bit, but you get my point. The same questions got in my mind when I wrote my first article on the Internet. Eventually all the fear I had disappeared. It was a matter of time.
All you need to know about blogging is perfectly explained by @Sandeep, but because I love lists, I will unashamedly add another one. Ok, here it goes:
P.S I should probably make this into an article.
