I have tossed and turned with this site for longer than I care to admit. It originally began as a need when I was podcasting, during that time I also fell in love with blogging, which eventually turned into a full-time job for me. That is the good news, of course that meant little if any time was ever left (or made) to keep this site up and active.

Since then I have tried several times to restart and rebrand it to better suit what I was doing as a professional blogger (full-time freelancer) but it has never felt right, mainly because I did not make the time and keep making progress.

With that, I have chosen to officially kill of this blog with this final post.

Of course as a full-time blogger (freelance writer) I cannot stand the idea of being without a place to journey my experience and tell my tales.

I have had my robertnelson.com domain for a while now and always used that as a landing page of sorts, but never as a blog. I kind of like it that way and plan on keeping that the same. However I have in the past used the phrase “this is me” and now that I have my robertnelson.me domain that phrase sort of fits in perfectly.

With that, I have chosen to start blogging personally about my journey and experience as a full-time blogger (freelancer) over at robertnelson.me/thisisme.

I think it fits a little better, but more important it gives me a clean start with a new blog. Of course for the time being, (until I can get something better and custom designed) I am keeping the same template.

So, I now have a new site and new feed. A completely fresh start. Now I have to prove myself and build a community. Time to get to work…

As most people who follow me already know, a big reason for my not posting here on my personal blog is that I write as a professional blogger on other sites. Without going into full details, one network that I write for is Dabbledoo Media, which includes Gadgetell (who I write for) along with Appletell and Gamertell.
