At BlogSpot.com, I have cultivated a vast repository with thousands of posts, leveraging its ease of use and excellent tagging system.
On SubStack.com, I focus on polished articles, engaging a dedicated community of subscribers and fellow writers.
BeeHiiv.com serves as my platform for distributing "le crème de la crème" of my work via email, aiming to reach readers who prefer curated content directly in their inboxes.

Which content websites do I currently use?
A keen observer will notice that I have been using BlogSpot.com for decades.
There, I have thousands of posts in various forms of refinement.
Then, I have SubStack.com, where I post finished articles to be shared with the community of fellow writers and friends who subscribed.
Finally, I have BeeHiiv.com, where I want my readers to subscribe to receive emails with "le crème de la crème" of my writings.

Why is blogging and email architecture so complicated?
The architecture is complicated because no single app does everything well.
- I like to start articles on the go from the phone when I get an idea (not on BeeHiiv)
- I like to draft articles on the phone from a cafe (not on BeeHiiv)
- I have thousands of articles on BlogSpot and good traffic
What are the best platforms for digital writers?
- There is no clear answer; this is why I use all three.
- I would probably not advise you to start with BlogSpot at this time
- If I was starting for the LOVE OF WRITING, I would use SubStack
- If I were starting to build a massive mailing list for commerce, I would start with BeeHiiv
