A Blog Makeover

Why this Blog Makeover is Necessary

For those people who viewed or followed my "Hopping on the Cards" blog below, thank you and I'm sorry! As you know, "Hopping on the Cards" is my first blog via e-blogger. I basically started it on 2011 and posted my last post about the cards on 2016.

Unfortunately, because of studies, work, health, and everything else in my life, I failed to maintain my blog. I'm sorry to say this, but I've revamped that site to this by changing the blog title from "Hopping on the Cards" to "Hopping on Anime and Manga". Life happens, and so, I must change the content of this blog to my current interests. 

But I haven't removed the content of my former "Hopping on the Cards" blog; I have only unpublished them. In other words, I've reverted them to draft mode because I think they're no longer relevant in this blog since I'm changing or transitioning to a new blog title.

Removing them would mean removing a part of myself. And, I don't want that. I want a piece of myself to "live on". Also, for keepsakes, I just wanna leave them here in Google's e-Blogger app even though they're unpublished (i.e., even if they're just in draft mode in e-Blogger).

In the meantime, I'll be updating or transitioning the contents of this blog to anime and manga (mixed with other products, services, and ideas that I think are related to anime/manga), and ones that you'll enjoy and benefit from of course! 😁

Anyway, to reiterate, this blog talks about anything and everything anime and manga-related. So, allow me to add to your life a snippet of the life lessons that I obtained through anime and manga through this blog.

Also, revamping this blog is no joke! I thought I already got the hands of blogging when I started "Hopping on the Cards" between 2011 to 2016.

Despite the presets, templates, and control settings that are supposed to make blogging easier, revamping this blog was a challenge!

I had to find the appropriate layout for a revamped blog, remove old contents (i.e., my old posts for "Hopping on the Cards"), find a free web header I can use legally and without copyright issues, and even redefine the theme of this blog! Such a hassle! And I thought setting up your own blog was already troublesome!

Setting a blog has its own tech-gremlins whether you use a free website or pay for the domain of your own website. So, think wisely before you transition or change to a new one.
