CCNA and CCNP Blogs and Posting Frequency
Here’s the one thing I’ve noticed recently…it seems that there are a ton of CCIE candidate blogs out there, but most of the CCNP ones I have come across usually have 5-6 posts and that’s it. It seems like CCNP level candidates (with one or two exceptions that I’ve seen) don’t keep up with their blogs for whatever reason (including myself).
What is the difference here? Are the CCIE candidates that much more into blogging, or are they more passionate about their quest? Here’s my guess: I think that because there are 3 (or 4) required exams for the CCNP and there’s no lab involved, it’s fairly easy to remember the material for the time that you are prepping for the exam. However, with the CCIE lab, I’m sure most people are just studying for 2-3 months, so there’s that much more to keep notes on.
I hope that when I get to the point where I’m ready to say “Yes, I’m a CCIE candidate,” that I can write more than I do now. My guess is that writing out and keeping notes on various topics for the IE lab will be much more beneficial than it is for the NP exams.
Just my 2 cents…carry on.
