Update for subscribers

Newsletters are popular these days. To keep up, I’ve changed the settings on this blog to send the full text of each post to email subscribers.

Let me know if this causes any problems.

If you haven’t subscribed yet, you can in the sidebar, under “Get all posts by email.”

Update: A post which appeared this morning is truncated in email. That may be because I scheduled it before changing the settings. (I almost always schedule my posts for early in the morning; it makes my posting more consistent and gives me a chance to think about them.) We’ll see what happens next time. Also, I’ve noticed that links in an emailed post go through WordPress and are uniquely tied to the recipient. If you want more privacy in the links you click on, open the blog in a private window.


Follow this blog with ActivityPub

Just this post, and I should be done for today. A benefit of the migration is that the ActivityPub plugin now works. You can follow this blog from Mastodon or similar services by subscribing to “@blog@garymcgath.com” just as you’d subscribe to any other account. It might not be available on servers that allow only short-form posts.

This is the first post I’ve made since installing ActivityPub, so it serves as a test and means the feed isn’t empty.


It’s alive!

The migration of garymcgath.com to the new hosting is complete! Let me know if you see anything weird.

I think I lost all my email subscribers. Sorry. If you didn’t get an email telling you about this post but you came here anyway, fill in your email address in the left sidebar and click “Subscribe.”


Migration heads-up

I expect to migrate garymcgath.com to new hosting in late August or early September. This may result in downtime and changes in appearance. It could result in broken links and lost content, though I’ll try my best to avoid that.
