Not massive for connections (Twitter interactions are better for that) and not great for jobs directly (I've had 2 people in 8 years contact me about contract work [i.e. not even full time] that I was not advertising about based on posts).
The most use I get out of my blog in retrospect is that it has a decent amount of minimal working sample code/configuration and I reference these snippets frequently.
But writing itself is part of making sure I understand a concept. So it's not just about the retrospective view but also about what you can learn by not just hacking on stuff but also explaining it in writing.
