Let me start out by saying that I absolutely hate blogging. Can't stand it. Writing in a room filled with fellow writers and personally getting their constructive critiques about my work will always reign as the far superior option in my eyes. However, not everyone has access to a room and other writers to fill that room with to provide constructive critiques. So for writers for which reviewers are hard to come by, blogging and sharing their writing with other writers over the internet would probably be the most viable option. Not to mention when you're on the internet you're presenting your work to a much broader audience than you ever could presenting it in a classroom.
I prefer the classroom option because the feedback you get from a room full of writers is so much more in-depth than what you would get from someone posting a comment on a website. This is not to say that there are no knowledgeable writers on the internet. I'm emphasizing the fact that in a classroom, you can be bombarded with countless ways to improve your work because the people in the room with you can just keep giving you suggestions and explain themselves much more quickly than they could if you didn't understand what they had written in their first comment for your work on your blog.
If you had to choose one, the choice is entirely personal preference. Both options are equally very helpful. So it's just a matter of which you're more comfortable with. Maybe you'll like to utilize both options. Knock yourself out if that's the case.
