I feel like this blog would have been more effective had I made posts on an exact schedule, as in making a post even on weekends when we weren't assigned one. However, when I did blog, even if irregularly, I think it definitely helped reinforce the things that I had learned during the week, and in some cases forced me to learn more through readings. This blog certainly isn't for other people to learn things since I don't really have an audience, so it's sole purpose truly is to reflect on things. I think for conceptual things, especially concepts about the game industry as a whole, this blog has been extremely helpful.
In some cases, blog posts aren't enough, but I think that this website/portfolio as a whole are very effective. Having to create new artwork for portfolio checks has forced me to keep my art skills sharp even while we were working on coding projects where all graphic assets are already finished. Even if portfolio checks aren't assigned (like over the summer, unless Mr. B has a surprise for us), having a website gives me a place to put finished projects and motivates me to make more things so that I have better work displayed here. I think that if next year and over the summer I put in a little bit more work with this site, I think I can make this blog incredibly useful for myself and hopefully create a really nice portfolio.
