I almost went back to Ghost
So what happened was...
I had a todo on my list for canceling my MagicPages subscription, so I went to do that. Seeing the Ghost version of this site running my custom theme gave me second thoughts. Remember how easy posting was with Ghost? Remember the comments, newsletters, and ActivityPub features? I caught myself before becoming too enamored with the idea, and canceled. If you use Ghost, MagicPages is a great service for hosting.
The draw of Ghost is the same as any "real" CMS... ease of posting. That reminded me that I was still running Pure Blog here at baty.blog. Hmmmm... :)
