So I find myself here on Substack after moving around for the past month. I started my blog on Ghost and wanted to monetize with Google adsense. but Adsense couldn’t detect my Ghost site, so I went to Wordpress. After a week or two of fighting with plugins and

I was reluctant to try this site because I didn’t want all my content on another platform and wanted to try self hosting. It turns out self hosting is a ton of work and a time suck I don’t have the patience for. I just want to get

As some of you may have noticed, I moved back to Ghost yesterday. I didn't want to move again, I mostly liked Bluehost and Wordpress, but monetizing was even harder with them. For one, on Wordpress to do ANYTHING you need a plug in. There is always a

In my last post I talked about how I’d been playing around with ChatGPT seeing what it does with my art. Well, I decided to try it with my logo I had made by hand. I loaded this into ChatGPT asking it to make it realistic and scary and

I know I’ve spoken out before against AI art, even though I used to do AI myself. Recently since starting this blog, I’ve used ChatGPT at times to brainstorm ideas or help me come up with bullet points. I write it all out myself. The AI is just
