I may be a little premature in writing about this, but I am planning on moving Gothridge Manor and GM Games to a new home. I've been very lax in using my blog. I find it more frustrating these days when I spend more time moderating comments from blatant spammers that Google opened the gates. For example, I haven't written a post in a few weeks. Within two days I have 83 spam comments. Most days it's two to ten. It shows me Google has no interest in the integrity of their platforms.
In addition I want a new home to get back to writing and to develop an honest to goodness eCommerce store. I've got ideas for 2019. There are a few larger items I'd like to get done. Maybe do a few collaborations. Get more organized. Ha. I know, that last one is funny.
I've never had a real store, just some Paypal buttons at the bottom of some posts. I'd like to make it nicer for you folks to find what your looking for. Once I set up my new place I'll let you know.
I think a new place to play might be the ticket in 2019.
The Akismet anti-spam system for Wordpress weeds out about 99.999% of spam comments in my experience. I have one sneak through every few months of the 250-500 I get per day.
ReplyDeleteNice. I was looking at Wordpress and Wix. Still deciding. But thanks for the information. That is helpful.
DeleteI second that. Spam filtering with wordpress is pretty solid.
DeleteOne thing about Wix to check is how easy it is to export your posts. I know that Squarespace is terrible for that.
Do whatever you have to to keep posting. If that means a new platform so be it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris. I will do that.
DeleteI've had really good luck with shopify. There's an app to add digital downloads. As well I have blogs associated with the site (within the infrastructure). The only thing I'm unsure is if the blog posts allow keywords.
