I’m thinking of (re-)starting blogging. Unfortunately my interests are eclectic and people prefer focussed blogs. So I might have to try more than one. I thought WordPress was the obvious play, but there’s Substack and Paragraph, too! (I don’t like Medium, not sure why.) If you were starting a blog, what platform would you choose?

I have been thinking about Paragraph but haven’t party for the same reason. I have several distinct things I would blog about and they don’t really cross audiences. But since you can have a different Paragraph per wallet, I thought I could have more than one.

The trouble I have with Paragraph is it’s crypto-based. Very few people who might read what I have to say would have crypto wallets. It’s very niche. If you’re blogging about NFTs or crypto, great. Otherwise it seems like a really long shot. 🤷‍♀️

@camilleroux’s suggestion of Ghost is tempting. I’m not sure if it would handle a multi-topic blog well or if I would have to pay for 2-3 separate ones. The starter price is quite reasonable and it’s *packed* with features. I never heard of it before but it looks pretty sweet.

I’m also curious what you plan to blog about. For me, one of them will be a developer (tech) one. Practical. I am toying with a SciFi one. Write what you know. Finally, a roommate once told me I read “weird sh*t”, which is undeniably true. An oddball blog could come from that, don’t know who’d read it!

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought you can create an account just with an email address (no wallet), and you can do it as an email distribution so it doesn't just have to be crypto folks who see what you write.

But yeah, nothing is particularly ideal that I've found yet for "multi-esoteric blogging"!
