I'm a teacher...I'm busy so why should I blog? Well blogging is just a log of your thoughts and reflections on your actions and frankly that takes some work. However, it seems that to be truly available to become the best teacher principal or just over all person one must reflect on their decisions- the good, bad and the indifferent. Blogging is also a for of self analyzation it makes you realize the mistakes you've made or the moments of brilliance that you don't want to forget so that you can repeat them later.
This is great as a teacher but as a leader it almost more effective because now your staff can see their progress or decline through your eyes. It should allow for more vertical integration and implementation of ideals which will lead your staff in the the same direction. A blog shouldn't just be a post of articles it should be a a true exchange of thoughts and ideals in the staff that allows you to develop a shared philosophy and goal that you are all trying to meet. A blog an also be a great way for the staff to bring issues to the forefront without feeling attacked or so that it allows for clarification.
