Very Internet Person

Every time I log into my Wordpress site, I just hate it. It’s so convoluted and the number of clicks and decisions I have to make to post really sucks. I have over 20 years of posts so migrating elsewhere feels too big, but I want to.

Paragraph

Launched our first post migration tool: you can now migrate your Wordpress site to Paragraph in one click. We also set up redirects automatically (if using a custom domain), so your SEO won't be hit.

Within the next couple weeks, we'll add support for importing from Substack & Mirror.

I know @paragraph recently launched a one-click migration tool for WP sites, and I love the Paragraph editor. Something to consider...?

Web3 newsletters & publishing.

We automatically summarize and cast about the best posts on Paragraph.

Interesting. I had not considered that and I’m a bit worried about how long they’ll be around. I don’t know much about the company either. I have a couple of newsletters there and it’s a decent editor.

I enjoyed this podcast interview with the founder, Colin Armstrong. 

I've also published a written interview with Colin (including a question about company longevity). Don't want to shill, but if you're interested LMK. I'd be glad to discuss my experience as a user.

Understandable. Over time I'm hoping to make Paragraph something of a general publishing home base for several of my projects (both free and monetized), but of course it's still early. 

That one-click migration tool would have been a major draw for me back in the days when I used WP, since I had hundreds of posts.

Spent some time researching and considering, but I don’t think Paragraph is the right move. They’re really building to help people monetize their content through newsletters, which is great,
but not what I want.

I appreciate that. I’m going to explore when I’m back in front of my keyboard and will ping you.
