Substack

[TOC: all blog posts]

I've decided to branch out. I'll be posting new entries on Substack as well as here.

Blogger has served me reasonably well, but about the time I got a few subscribers, Google informed me that they no longer supported subscriptions. On occasion someone would ask me why I wasn't writing anymore or whether I was. So I would send a link with my latest, but that didn't help for future posts. I could have given instructions on how to set up an RSS feed, but I didn't know how and never took the time to figure it out.

Granted, it's easy to think more people want to read what one has to say than actually do. But inhibiting folks from reading is hardly polite, much less conducive to sharing thoughts. So I decided to try something new.

For now, I'll be posting new material on both platforms. So if you do have an RSS feed set up and prefer to stay here, you should be fine. But if you want emails notifying when I've posted, you can subscribe to my Substack. I'll be posting some of my favorite older entries there too, with commentary.

I do not intend ever to ask for paid subscriptions. Some of the default messages from Substack call for "supporting" me. I'll try to catch those messages and rephrase them. If I miss some, ignore them. I don't have enough to say that is worth even a minimum subscription.

Thanks for listening. And I don't mind if you tell me when I haven't kept your attention. Or when I have.
