Hi Jeff,
It's very good that you are willing to try blogging again!
I believe participating with the CodeNewbie's challenge can help you to achieve that 😊

What I find helpful for me (especially when I decided to write a technical article) is to make a draft with bullet points.
If you look at my articles, most of them have bullet points. Then I write the explanation for each bullet point.

For example, when I had the idea to write about semantic HTML.
I would do something like this:

  • What is semantic HTML
  • Why semantic HTML
  • Order of semantic HTML + code example

Or when I want to explain a problem that I encountered and got the solution.

  • This code won't run
  • I tried A, B, C (explain)
  • Found solution on (link to website)
  • It's still not working.
  • Found another solution, tweak it like this, and now it works

You can really make a draft on the go while you're learning/working.
But then, you need to dedicate your time to transform those bullets into an article.

I hope it can help you start to write :)
