Some lovely news, Olly sent me an email (after I've been meaning to for the longest while) and amongst some kind words, he offered a premium trial of Pagecord. I was more than happy to accept the generous offer, and now I can flit around trying all the fun features. Maybe even post an image or two? I promise I won't go too crazy!
Oh, I can't resist the opportunity to share a Katerina Petrova gif. She's my favorite villain and I love her to bits. So with 'no rules', what features do I have now?

Although, I noticed something. I accidentally typed my email incorrectly when I first subscribed. When I tried to subscribe again -- but with the correct email this time -- nothing happened when I pressed the subscribe button. I tried going incognito and using a different browser altogether, and the subscribe button didn't work/register. However, when I pulled up the blog on my phone, I was able to successfully subscribe with the correct email.
Custom domain available (but I haven't activated it, my only custom domain is parked somewhere else).

Given that the premium plan for an entire year is $20, it's a really tempting price to just full-send. I know I talk about price a lot, but it's because I feel like parting with my money is getting harder and harder these days with the economy. I'm sure many feel the same. I'm still determining what blog platform I want to commit to the most. So while I am on trial, I will take full advantage of the features and adopt Pagecord to my weekly, if not daily, workflows so I can really give it a good test run.
When I first started my daily blogging adventures on March 14th, I wasn't all that sure where I wanted to go. It's May 11th, marking day 58 of daily blogging, and I'm still just yapping away, sharing whatever comes up from the day.
I realize I'm going to have to focus up soon, to start driving my work and content to some umbrella, some direction to help encourage readership. I know, I know, I initially started out blogging just for me and I will definitely keep doing that. I also want to expand and consider blogging for you, too. That means I have to determine the "you" who would benefit from reading a blog post. Yes, that'll be more biz/work-related, but don't question or quote me on anything, I haven't gotten that far, okay?!
Welp, now that I've sufficiently yapped and expressed my gratitude, I'm going to hit the showers and continue working on my live-streaming schedule. Yes, I'm getting back to TikTok livestreams (mostly Tarot and chatting) and then Twitch livestreams (I'll be playing Baldur's Gate 3, first playthrough).
