It can be rewarding in a number of ways, most of which can be split into helping yourself and helping others.
To help myself, as another poster said, I record things I've learned, errors I have fixed, processes for e.g. setting up ssh securely or whatever.
To help others, most of the things that help me also help them. Every now and then I get a really weird error that no-one else seems to get and I have to solve it and then blog about it. Hopefully another 10,000 people don't have to go through the same pain.
At one point, I think I had about 200K viewson my blogspot blog but eventually I just came to hate the fact that they never seemed to update the site or fix any of the bugs on it so I went static and lost a tonne of SEO in the process but that will grow again!
