I’ve gone back-and-forth with different “posting workflows” over the years, and had receded into “WordPress-only” over the last year.
Various recent alternatives:
- Completely migrate to Ghost: seemed a simpler long-term plan, but … inertia… and decided to stick to WP
- Branch out to micro.blog: did do this, for “micro-posts”, but then felt that sticking to “one place” would be better, and migrated back
- Thought of using Tumblr: yeah, no, Tumblr is a different kinda place
- Static sites: lol, no, this is where I started out, it’s hip but inconvenient, not doing that again
Meanwhile, I also feel the parent company Auttomatic is (largely) aligned with my values w.r.t. where the internet and content should be.
So, my inclination now is to stick with WordPress basically forever, while cross-posting a subset somewhere else.
Candidates for this “somewhere else” include (1) Twitter/X, (2) Medium and (3) Substack.
That way, WP can continue to be my “everything bucket” for posts, while I’ll try out these other platforms for a few months and see how I like it.
So … looking forward to … looking back on this, in a year or two 🙂
P.S. Yes the title is a cheesy allusion
