For many years now I have had a this personal website on the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have decided it\u2019s all coming down. There are a lot of reasons for that \u2014 which I\u2019d rather not go into right now. The material here will go back up on the Internet in some form \u2014 but I\u2019m not sure what and where just yet. My web hosting is paid through December, so the transition can be slow. But, I\u2019ve known for years that I need to abandon that particular project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
At some point, https:\/\/craigladams.com\/<\/a> will redirect to whatever new platform it is to which I have migrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yeah, Substack<\/a> is interesting \u2014 and there are a lot of interesting people here, but I don\u2019t think that will be the primary platform I settle on. I am busily following people and subscribing (for free, so far) to people there. My already overstuffed email inbox is getting flooded with Substack emails \u2014 but they are all going to a separate Substack folder \u2014 which I might glance at if I feel like it. As a long-time WordPress user, I appreciate the writing tools on Substack. But, Substack is oriented to hosting essays (long form, from what I\u2019ve seen), and podcasts, and live feeds. I currently have no interest at all in live feeds and podcasts \u2014 and essays are only part<\/em> <\/strong>of what I\u2019d like to do. So Substack doesn\u2019t feel like home. It feels like a platform I’d use for publicizing things I\u2019m doing on some other platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m experimenting with Patreon<\/strong><\/a>, but, honestly, I\u2019m still looking. I put up a Bible Study + Sermon slides post recently,<\/a> so I\u2019ve got some idea of what can be done on that platform, but the writing tools are poor, and the way it is oriented toward Membership tiers doesn\u2019t really fit with what I\u2019m imagining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I love writing Bible Study + Sermon Slides posts, but it\u2019s rather time consuming. If I can be of assistance to preachers, that would be great. I’ll let you know what’s happening as time goes by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For many years now I have had a this personal website on the Internet.
