I usually start reading an author's blog because I like their work. I like getting to find out the process, when something new is coming, tidbits of what's being worked on...
I stay if I enjoy reading the blog. This usually means the blog is about things I'm interested in, or well written, or best both. In a couple of cases I've found author blogs from posts about issues and appreciate the exploration of these issues. That's how I started reading Jim Hines and Scalzi.
In the case of this blog in particular I used to really enjoy the quotes of what you're working on at the bottom of posts (for whatever reason I like these a lot more in relation to the Liaden universe than other works. I enjoy all the books, but the excerpts are less enjoyable for me). I like reading about the cats, and the struggle of writing professionally, and finding out more about the other end of the country (I'm a Californian).
