The Back Story
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about blogs - long form / short form writing. The largest hurdle I found is coming across the correct home for it. Substack, which is where I've been writing for the last few weeks, seems very polished and professional. The community there, of the Christian faith, has been a great home for me -- however, I want to talk more about tech and my personal life some more. It's hard for me to use a site for such a hybrid - it feels... off.
On top of that, I was hoping to have a place to share my photography at.
Hybrid needs! Surely, there is an all-in-one platform out there that's affordable and easy to use!
This then led me on an adventure to try to figure out the best place for said hybrid. After a couple of days of hunting and thinking, I think I found it: There isn't one.
The simplest solution is to have a place for each.

Wrap Up
This'll be how I'll test this going forward. I really don't like the idea of having multiple platforms; however, there really isn’t an easy way to do it without having to pony up some cash - which is something I am willing to do one day, but for now, I like the idea of testing things out some.
