Two days, two new experiments. I moved [my newsletter](https://www.cjchilvers.com/subscribe) over to my personal site at Squarespace and away from Mailchimp. Yesterday, I sent out my first new issue, which was as easy as posting a new blog post and clicking one more button to send it out to all my email readers.

The added bonus to this approach: I will finally have a newsletter archive, with RSS, all under the roof of my personal site.

The reading experience for this issue was…not great. Honestly, I can do better, and so can Squarespace. I will tinker with the settings and see what can be improved.

I’m tempted more and more every day by [Buttondown](https://buttondown.email/?ref=cjchilvers.com), which has the best reading experience, but isn’t as integrated or easy-to-use.

I’ve already had some great responses and comments on the new direction, so I’ll keep sharing the changes in the hopes this helps others with their personal publishing projects.
