1. I post my book notes and other things I’m learning about. I started it a year ago and I’m still trying to figure out what it’s about.

2. I post twice a week. I like the consistency and habit that regular posting imposes (I was posting 3x/week but found that was a bit too much).

3. I use Digital Ocean to host. The blog uses Ghost CMS. I’ve used WP in the past, but I like the blogging focus and relative simplicity of Ghost. On the hosting side, I like Digital Ocean’s pricing model, documentation and community. I’m starting a newsletter for the blog using substack mostly because it’s dead simple to setup a newsletter with them. And rather than fiddle with various solutions, I wanted something turnkey that I could just get started with immediately.
