So I moved back to Pika …today! Almost - I’m not done yet with moving pages over, but I can do that slowly. I made the decision this morning and worked on it in the afternoon. I know this may be a surprise to friends who have watched me craft my blog with 11ty for the last ten months, and I wanted to explain what happened, so I made a page about it (https://hollie.eilloh.net/pages/why-i-left-pika-and-then-returned).

The tl;dr is that while I learned a ton tinkering, I had stopped writing! My blog flow is pictures and art and journaling, and I found there was just enough friction that I slowed waaaay down. I thought I’d speed back up again, but I didn’t. I value the journaling over the tinkering, so I chose to come back where doing the journaling is easy. @goodenough

#PikaPage #blogging

Starting to use pika.page blogging platform and it seems simple and useful.
If interested to start a blog give'em a try.

@comradevlast #Ghost is probably your best bet for something like substack. Available in both hosted and host-your-own styles. I see that you understand the value of #hashtags, so Bear blog and Micro.blog are out. #Write.as and #pikapage might be worth checking out.

There's always #wordpress, but Matt Mullenweg is working pretty hard to drama it to death.
