Starting over

Hi, it’s me starting over again, I think I’ve started a blog post saying the exact same words quite a few times over the years, but hopefully, this will be the last time I say those words. I started my blog quite a while ago and still, after a good seven years, I still have the same issue of struggling to start a blog post. I honestly sit looking at my screen thinking about what to write, how to start it… then I do write something and it doesn’t look right, doesn’t sound right and sometimes I can sit on it for hours even days just with absolutely no idea what I’m doing. And then suddenly something clicks and then my brain activates and I end up typing loads of waffle and somehow a decent blog post normally appears out of nowhere.

I will be honest, when I was in full swing with my blog it was never easy. I’m not the most academically gifted person, I’m a mega slow typer not to mention how poor my grammar is, but I’ve always been open and honest about this and really do try my best.

Blogging has been put on the back burner for a good few years now and probably in the last six months I’ve thought about closing it down, I wasn’t sharing a lot of content, and I wasn’t active on social media regarding blog stuff. I my interaction with other bloggers was none existent.

I kept on telling myself I didn’t have time to blog and spent most of my time gaming, which is the only real hobby I have.

But over the last month, I’ve been having little breaks from gaming which was good but all I ended up doing was watching YouTube and people streaming.

Over the last month, me and my wife, who were also in a similar situation with her blog have been talking and it kind of sparked a little interest of us both trying to make a go at it again. 

My wife wanted to start from fresh totally and I just wanted a little revamp and stay with my original Ablokeseyeview I just wanted a fresher look and to look more professional l, so I decided to speak to the lovely people at Lyrical Host about merging my blog from Blogger to WordPress and starting up a new blog on WordPress for my wife.

Even though we were happy with Blogger we just wanted something a little different and WordPress grabbed our attention.

With the revamp of the blog and a brand new look I want to start back slowly and I will aim to publish one new post a week and then hopefully if I can stick to that routine I will try publish more frequently.

I don’t want to rush into it and burn myself out, so this way I can get a good flow going and produce some quality content, then hopefully increase the number of posts once I’ve kept up with this routine.

There’s going to be a good mixture of different content, ranging from the normal lifestyle post, male grooming, sports, hobbies and hopefully a lot more gaming-related posts… and maybe some fashion if I can sort my dress sense out, I don’t think anyone is interested in me writing about me wearing my six year-old joggers and hoody every night.

If you have any suggestions on what you want to see on the blog, maybe something totally different then please let me know in the comment section.
