Blogging is dead for me a creator if you want to get attention. Time to move on. I give a short thought snippet why I think Blogging an old technology is out and what I am trying out instead. I do still think you need a website. I am thinking go going into the JAM Stack Gatsby or VUE to connect to content sources like GHOST after I build up contents on YouTube or other CMS platforms.
