I was going on from the typical blog post, which is, in most of the cases, more formatted like a Tip, without a really in-depth description. It usually presents one, or a little number of code snippets.
I understand that you were replying to my OP, which was indeed unclear. I hope I was able to clarify my thoughts a bit.

If you make it an article and post it at CP, it might help some lowly C++ developers (like me) who are wanting to start with web development.
Don't listen to anyone who's discouraging you.

I'd agree with that, but it is also good to listen to advice that wasn't meant to be discouraging, just a warning.
In this case, it is OK to post a near copy of a blog, but have a good reason and fully disclose the blog you are basing the article on. That would be a link to the blog, disclose that the author of the article also wrote the blog, and the author can cover the subject in more detail with better code examples in an article. (CodeProject doesn't condone plagiarism, you need to disclose work you use to create your new work based on it. In one case I said I used logic I'd read about 20 years earlier. I said I'd added modifications to make it work better. Somebody pointed out an article on quicksort that stated one of the original methods exactly matched what I'd read, but the recommended way exactly matched my modification of the original method. So neither of us plagiarized the other, we both used common sense to come up with a better solution. The other just published it, so he is the author.)
The reason given works even when the blog author isn't the same, just disclose that as well.
Everyone sometimes doesn't say exactly what they meant and it comes across in a negative way. Just try to understand what really was meant. (I wish I always followed that advice.)

After reading your reply, I am not sure if you're aware of the fact that in this case the OP *is* the author of the blog.
He just wants to know if it's a good idea to write the same thing here at CP, which I said is a good idea because it will more visibility, and could help some people.

I did say "disclose that the author of the article also wrote the blog" That really isn't a CP requirement, just something that is in the interest of full disclosure and providing an explanation of why the same thing is written in two places. (Not, look at me, I wrote this! More, I am adding value by...)

I agree with that point.

If you do the proper references... there shouldn't be a problem. 
I believe you might have to rethink it because of the reason you want to do it.

Why worry about exposure?
I think everybody arrives to places via google, so if there's a good match between what they've searched for and what you've written they should be able to find it.

Well I like CodeProject, that's why!
But you have a good point here!

Of course! Because it benefits all of CP, and I find that CP has much more visibility than a blog. Certainly that's true for my blog!

You see, your Swedishfication has already begun...
Next thing you know, you'll start drinking copious amounts of alcohol and complaint at the same time that it is extremely harmful and is way too available to everybody else (who are NOT capable of taking the responsibility for their own lives). You will also start making up extremely stupid and unnecessary rules about EVERY friggin little detail of life - and you will be completely unable to break or bend any of those rules no matter what the situation, because rules are there to be obeyed! AND you will be totally unable to do anything that is not covered by the rules - or take any personal initiative - for fear of doing something wrong and be held personally responsible.
I won't say anything more, because I'm afraid that if I do, I might say something stupid that will show that I'm not entirely fond about all aspects of the Swedish mentality... 
But what the heck, I seem to be doing 25 to life here, so I might as well make the best of it... 
Rant over!
