Glad to see you over here! I prefer it to patreon so think you have made a wise decision! I do get similar old school blogging vibes over here on Substack.

Yes, that's been my feeling too! Combox discussions, sidebar blogrolls, all that good stuff that made our early blog discourse lively. So glad to see you here, Stephanie!

I'm trying to figure out how to upgrade to paid so I can read whole posts. Advice, please and thanks.

Mary Lee, I've emailed you but wanted to respond here too in case anyone else is having trouble. There should have been a button to convert to paid membership at the bottom of the post. I wonder if I missed a step?

I can usually see an upgrade to paid Button on substack posts or accounts...but not yours. I'll look again.
