Ghost or Substack? Eleventy or WordPress? Newsletter or blog...or online magazine? There are a lot of choices these days in online publishing, so I've detailed my own recent experiences in this post.
I discuss how I've found Ghost's fediverse integration so far (there are issues, but I'm fully supportive), why you *shouldn't* choose Substack, why I find Build Awesome (11ty) (npub1qud…y0rz) such a joy, and why #WordPress is in desparate need of modernization. https://ricmac.org/2025/08/21/ghost-substack-eleventy-wordpress/
