I appreciate the feedback. I really like the idea of starting a blog... My biggest problem is thinking that the stuff I am working on won't interest anyone, but I guess if I just blog about it all... Then at least it will get me in the habit of "explaining" my work to others. And the best way to learn something is to teach. And there is the point about a potential employer reading it too.
To increase your professional visibility, the best thing is to participate in a professional social networks like linkedin, which has many groups dedicated to security and penetration testing. A blog can be useful as a referer for your ideas, articles and so, but this is only a possibility. There are many professional pen testers who do so, as some security company and firm. In this field there are so many knowledge around but but very few people understand it fully, it is necessary to demonstrate competence. For another point, yes i think SANS is really the best of bread in security course and certification, with GIAC. Very Nice , i have take san 560 two years ago (this year i will take sans sec660). Also the offensive security training and certification is very important and valuable. But as in many things, there is no such thing as a free lunch. They give you much, but thery are very expensive. Best
