Welcome to the new format for Killerpuppytails news
We open on the writer Risa Wolf fumbling around a new digital platform...
Hey hi hellooo -
This is my first newsletter from Buttondown. It's a slightly different interface, so please bear with me.
As those of you who received my last newsletter know, my old platform, Tinyletter, is shutting down end of February. The last two weeks I spent quite a bit of time testing out a few newsletter systems, in particular focusing on ease of entry and accessibility.
What tipped the scales to Buttondown vs Ghost was the fact that on Buttondown, it was VERY easy to find where I could delete my account. I had to search Google to figure out where to go on Ghost to delete my account. Couldn't find it in their help docs. Additionally, I have only received two promo emails from Buttondown so far vs ten from Ghost. (Seven of those ten emails were sent after I deleted my account there.)
I'll also note that Ghost is a lovely interface but mostly does what Wordpress does, and I've already got a Wordpress site. It seemed like overkill to have another whole site just for a newsletter. So here I am, learning the ins and outs of another new system. I'll be back to a more me style soon.
Speaking of style...
My Wordpress site is pretty fusty right now. It looks dull and simple. So I'm going to be making some changes over there, with the idea that if I'm changing things over here, it makes sense to change things over there, too. Don't be surprised if things look broken for a few days.

And before I forget, here's a puppy.
With love and weirdness,
