Excellent idea! I'm new to poker and welcome reading about the experiences of someone more experienced.
A couple of suggestions (yes, I know a newbie making suggestions is kinda presumptuous...): first, is there a dictionary/list of poker abbrevs/slang? Second, a general rundown of your play is good, but I'd also like to see the history of particular hands/incidents. Specifics can come in very handy.
Third, since poker is less luck than skill/mental attitude, I'd like to hear about that aspect of your game as well: how do you keep yourself from going on tilt? How do you stop yourself if you start on tilt? How important is playing regularly? Differences between online and in person play? Can you still play according to classic poker strategy if no on else at the table does?
