Ghost 4.0 Update Gives a Self-Hosted Substack Alternative
Ghost 4.0 came out today! It’s been a long-delayed update, partly due to COVID, but it’s finally here for everyone. The update brings memberships and the newsletter feature of the beta. I have been using the lab “beta” features since the early days of the launch. They were largely unpolished and half-baked up until today’s…

Instead of doing the standard recap, goal setting, and resolution for 2021, I am adopting Yearly Themes. I first discovered Yearly Themes from the Cortex podcast….
