As a test to decide if I could move from Substack back to Ghost for my professional site, I tried to do a prototype. It didn't go well.
Thoughts about wordpress

Since my first contact in 2009, WordPress has evolved significantly. Despite security concerns and a transition to block-based editors, it remains a strong CMS with a thriving creator ecosystem. The introduction of paid add-ons and the Jetpack suite has enhanced functionality, but may be costly for hobbyists. Nonetheless, WordPress offers scalable, secure solutions for varied needs.

Streaming, some yay, some argh
S
I am going to need a "better" streaming option than the weak Panasonic Smart TV app, or the outclassed Tivo Roamio.
