Hey guys, Matt is here in the UK! We took advantage of this time to sit down and do lots of Blog Things together. For a long time we discussed migrating from WordPress.com to WordPress.org so we had more control over what we could do with this space. Since we reached our goal on Patreon for redesigning the blog we’ve really wanted to do this, and it’s finally done!
If you are only subscribed through WordPress.com, you apparently will no longer receive email updates unless you subscribe with your email address on the sidebar tool. I think you’ll still be able to see posts in your Reader, which is cool, but if you’re dying for those email updates, make sure you subscribe that way! Matthew is super confused by all this, and I too do not really understand why they can’t just email you WordPress.com subscribers, but such is life.
Now, if you click on a specific category and read a post, you’ll be able to read the previous or next post in each category rather than just going chronologically. But if you read a post from the homepage, you’ll be able to binge-read the blog in order if you like!
We’re also working on creating some Amazon affiliate links for our ebooks and the books we read on the blog since we all know ad revenue is dying a slow and painful death. If you want to read along with us for any of the books, it’s a great way to support us (and our beloved bad books authors.)
Now for the bad news…we’re taking the week off since we have quite a bit we want to do tweaking the new site & Matt is traveling a lot this week.
