Recommending Ghost(Pro)
This is a simple way to keep this project running, with the ease of Ghost’s elegant, no-fuss content management, Ghost(Pro)’s handling of e-mail newsletter delivery, and the convenience of using a theme created with care by somebody else. These three let me spend time on ideas and words, not services and files. I’ve done—and do—enough of that elsewhere.

Style guide
I have not been consistent over time. Trying to be more so lately. No harm in keeping notes visible.
Punctuation
- Block quotes
<bq>don’t need surrounding quote marks. - Titles use sentence case. Name of the site does not. Oops.
- Use ampersands (&) in titles, headings, and excerpts, except after punctuation where it looks weird (the ‘looks weird’ rule):
- Like this → ‘this, that & the other’
- Also → ‘this, that—and the other’
Word choice
- Banned words:
just,here, …
