Forgive me while I get meta for a moment. I’ve been blogging at the Good Typist every week for at least eighteen years now, and over the last several months, I started to feel blah and uninspired. Changes to Blogspot made formatting frustrating, and I needed to refresh and update the look of the blog, but I didn’t want to contend with all of the headaches and fraught decisions involved in that. I didn’t want to phone it in, but I also didn’t have the mental energy to give it the makeover it so desperately needed. I have been considering for a long time moving to Substack, although at first, I thought it was more for the exiled intellectual dark web set than a humble blogger like me, who merely natters on about the minutiae of everyday life. Yesterday, I made the move and I cannot believe how fast and easy it was. Eighteen year’s worth of posts downloaded in under a minute, and they carried over very nicely! I’m definitely going to be in a learning curve with Substack for a while, but so far, I love it. It’s clean and simple and very easy to work with. It’s also very supportive and community orientated. I feel optimistic and reenergized.
You're welcome.
I really enjoyed it!
Very enjoyable read, An outstanding first post! :--)
