Just wondering, has anyone here tried blogging a book (basically you write a chunk - most often it's done chapter by chapter - then post it on your blog)?

How'd it work out? Did it get published any other way or lead to other projects? How does one take care of revising and stuff, particularly if there turn out to be gaping plot holes?

Just wondering - I've considered trying it, but as it stands, I don't have any ideas for a novel right now. I might, however, try to incorporate the idea into NaNoWriMo (not blogging the NaNoWriMo novel, of course; I deliberately write an unspeakably horrible novel every year, but I'd maybe write about the experience).
