"How do I subscribe to your updates?"
Option A (easy): Subscribe on Substack, where I post a facsimilie of the updates you see here. The downside of this method is that it positions Substack as a middleman between you and my work. (Also, Substack is kinda evil.)
Option B (recommended, punk rock): Subsribe via RSS. RSS is a powerful tool because it's platform agnostic, and it allows creators to own their own feeds.
- Choose an RSS reader and create an account. I like Inoreader and Feeder.
- Your reader should have an "add feed" option. Plug my feed's address into it: https://pagemelt.zone/rss.xml.
- That's it! You should start seeing updates from me shortly.
- Subscribe to the feeds of other creators you like. If they have a blog or newsletter, chances are they have an RSS feed too.
