Readership of my blog (and, I suspect, all blogs) is fading away, while Substack seems flourishing. This week on Substack, I’m reposting an old post about Napoleon’s escape from Elba, a note on Georgian furniture, a poll on what readers want to see and a pretty picture to round it all off. I’m finding it easier to use than WordPress (that’s here) and more fun. I will still cross-post, but not every week and I’ll probably gradually fade away here. Apart from anything else, maintaining this site costs me money and I don’t feel it generates enough enthusiasm from me or my readers to justify it.
Why not try Substack? This week’s post is at https://tomcw99.substack.com/p/the-escape-from-elba and it’s free to subscribe. If you do subscribe and emails don’t turn up, check your spam.
See you on the other side.
