Katrina here's a copy/paste I received this morning from Tim Denning. Another who like Cole, Bush, and me thinks that personal website blogs are dead in the water:
I won’t go too far down the rabbit hole here, but the TL;DR version is this:
The internet is changing. Personal blogs are dying.

The internet is changing. Personal blogs are dying.
It’s actually been happening for a while now.
Think about it — whenever you go to read something online, are you actually going to someone’s website, or are you going to Twitter, LinkedIn, Substack, Medium, Reddit, etc.?
Even if you’re looking for your favorite person in the world (me), you’re probably not going to my website.
That sound you hear is the nerds in the back:
“But Tim! Google SEO still prioritizes websites!”
Yeah.
But even Google is up in the air now. The latest version of Google’s AI tool simply summarizes what it finds at the top of the page. People don’t click through to the website. They just read the snippet.
I’ve said this before: a website should probably be LAST on your list of priorities.
A newsletter should be at the top.
Specifically, a modern newsletter. Preferably using something like Substack
I meant that I don't think there are more option than the one I showed.
You told me about CK. I say that it's a good site to create multiple landing pages as Tim Denning does (because you mentioned him below).
You can link from your landing page on CK which you can customize as you want and try different hooks to your Substack. No need to have a blog/website.
Hope this helps to make things clearer. Otherwise feel free to send me an email 🌸
