I’m not doing a publishing platform really. And I can’t seem to get email going. I’ve tried with MailerSend and while I know I can send email, through swaks, Ghost just won’t. Someone told me it only uses MailGun, which I attempted to set up and after 2 days the DNS verification didn’t go through, even though I konw for a fact it was there. And at this point I really don’t want lock in to a specific service if that’s true.
That looks really nice! Thank you for the recommendation. Still trying to figure out what to use. :-)
Thank you! I shall look into that!
I’m a sysadmin by trade, I just don’t know the HTML and CSS stuff. :-D Thank you very much for the detail response though! That’s great for folks to find and learn! :-)
Yup, heard of them, used them very briefly. I think it’s time to give it a try again! :-D Thank you!
Oh another interesting one! I shall check into that! Thank you! :-D
Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll look into the themes! :-)
Yes! I can. I’m just TERRIBLE with Dev Stuff and not a fan either. lol But if you have recommends on how to host something like that and make it look ince, I’m all for hearing it! :-)
This is excellently well thought out post and some GREAT questions! I’ll have to go through this more. I’m definitely planning on Self Hosting via Hetzner, I expect it to be static. I don’t honestly expect much traffic, but who the hell knows. :-D I don’t think I’ll need forums as I have the Fediverse! :-D
I’ve heard of Hugo, I’ll check into this one!
This sounds massively interesting! Thank you so much for the recommendation! I’ll look into this! Thank you!
Aral and I have spoken before! Aral used to stream on Owncast where I first met him, do you still do those streams Aral? :-)
Do you think Kitten would be a good use case for BT Free dot org?
No worries in the least! :-) I just want to make sure I’m on the same page as you! :-D Thank you for the info!
I shall check into it! Thank you! :-)
That’s fair. I love Valve’s Steam as well. :-)
You’re referring to https://gohugo.io/ the static site generator?
I don’t LOVE business personally lol :-D but I do love the Fediverse and I’m going to attempt to “business” it at least. :-D NonProfit, because we’ve been down the route of Profit before and we saw where that got us.
Yeah, I’ve heard folks use Wordpress and it has a Fediverse Plugin now. And it can be selfhosted? I’ll check it out! Thank you! :-)
I do like Linkstack. I just thought it was abandoned. Mas pointed out that I’m VERY wrong there. It’s only been 5 months. I use it on two other sites.
I don’t know anything about Drupal. I shall look at it. Right now to get up and running I’m thinking of just running a SSG like Pelican. Especially since the Dev is on the Fediverse. :-D
I know a silly reason to pick it, but I’m a Fedi Lover lol. :-)
Thank you for the info though. I’ll definitely look more into it. And thank you so much for the very deeply detailed response! :-)
