I have a bunch of random bits of thought on my webpage - generally the second or third time I'm writing substantially the same email I make it a webpage. Thus I wrote about egg donation, and thus I rewrote the entire egg donation stuff to answer all the questions I kept getting asked by email.
Also thus I wrote my presents page, and a random thing about car hire in Cambridge, and a little bit about weight loss tools, and the page explaining my surname, and I should probably at some point put together stuff about RSI.
The only one which seems to generate much actual comment is the egg donation, but the main benefit for me is that if someone asks me the same question again, I can post a url.
I was going to add, that I love reading this kind of thing on other people's webpages and I think you should publish them. The advantage of making them part of your website rather than blogging them is that they are easy to find again in future; the advantage of blogging them is that they turn up on my friends list without me making any effort. One could compromise and either make a collection of links on the website, or post links to static articles in one's blog.
It is allowed not to respond to every person who sends you unsolicited comments about your random thoughts.
