And a secret I would like her to share - how does she find all the time to put this miracle together? I struggle to get this out each week:

Although it does take effort and at 78 I do get tired, I really enjoy the work but of course its not only the actual manuscript. I spend 80% of the time researching (thank goodness for Google and other engines). But then it's the reading, filing and answering comments.
I stand in awe that Margaret finds the time to read and answer the 100s of comments she gets; she is one of the few sites that does.
Wow - I would say you need a team. I am looking for a research assistant to help me - WFH - rewards will be in heaven but they would gain lots of knowledge from my extensive library of thousands of links using the Firefox bookmark system. Only problem is FF doesn't have a bookmark search facility and thus I often have trouble remembering which part of the tree I have placed a link. I have asked them - months ago - they said they would look into it but I guess it is unusual enough not to be bothered?
Yes, I need a team and yes, remembering where links are is a problem. My WordPress blog is nice because it has a search engine. I then need to remember enough of the title or tags to find my notes.
Jennifer, you can install a plugin called Akismet (https://akismet.com/) to automatically filter out spam comments at your WordPress site. Ask your host for assistance if you don't know how to do it yourself.
Hopefully, your host can help or point you to someone who can. Should be pretty straightforward, although I don't know how it handles spam that's already come inтАФmight just work at suppressing future ones.
I had looked at WordPress years ago but got lost in the tech, so was happy to accept Jim Quinn's offer at The Burning Platform in 2018, which I think is a WP, so maybe he can help me because I always re-post my SS to TBP anyway:

It is definitely work to write. I took two days off from my laptop and Substack and feel kind of guilty.

There is advantage in no comments, yes.
My main WordPress blog gets so much spam I don't allow unapproved comments. There are over 12,000 to go through. I should get a real webmaster

Thanks, I have tried to use that and help would be good then. I didn't get it to work

Looks interesting. And the ubuntu theme.
I have a book review by an African born doctor about our need for change - https://jenniferdepew.com/blog/f/%E2%80%9Ckan-na-wu-say-it-as-it-is-even-if-it-means-your-death%E2%80%9D
