A New Blog Provider?
by John
I am testing a new blog provider.
To see, or listen to my latest post, type the following in your browser address box….
medium.com/@johnsmachines
(the forward slash / is required)
and please let me know if it works for you.
Note, Reading posts is free, but to leave comments/feedback, you need to register with medium.com. Registration is free. Do try the “listen” option. It is remarkably good! The only drawback to “listen” is that photograph captions are not read aloud.
At the next level, for $US50 per year you have unlimited access to the millions of posts on the site. I am exploring some of these.
It is not a particularly interesting post, but if the new provider is OK, that is where future posts will appear.

Doesn’t work on my phone. Google just brings up the old site as a search result.

the typed address is crucial. medium.com/@johnsmachines no spaces. and it requires the forward slash /

Hi there John,
Glad to see some potential here. I tried to negotiate the app which I suspect isn’t necessary if your posts come as emails (as before).
So far so good and I suspect many others will feel the same.

Seems that if we want to follow, or comment we have to join.
Will think about that, as I’ve got more links than I can keep track of already. ________________________________

Sir.
If I may suggest, you need to transfer all the old data/posts from the old blog to the new blog site.
I went to the new one in a new browser and 90% (+) of the material from the old sit is not there.

You are correct, and I do apologise. I did not persist with the new site because WordPress did quietly increase my storage limit, enough for several years more posts. All new posts will appear at johnsmachines.com
