Aside from social media promotion (that I had tried before, and decided to avoid), there was no convenient way to share articles more widely, such as with a newsletter.</p>https://brian.jazzofjapan.com/v3-0-github/Sat, 01 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000https://brian.jazzofjapan.com/v3-0-github/<div id="outline-container-headline-1" class="outline-2"> <h2 id="headline-1"> January 2022: Moving from Substack to GitHub </h2> <div id="outline-text-headline-1" class="outline-text-2"> <p> Using Substack was great for writing and sending out free-form writing, but there was some extra functionality that I was looking for. Now that I had about 150 articles with many drafts in progress, I wanted to better organize things and have a standard structure that was easier to work with.</p> <p> Since most of my posts were about albums, I was using a regular layout for each article, like a template with a specific format and well-defined sections.</p>
