There’s a slight change to the format of my monthly newsletter. Starting now, the emails will also include my notepad posts from spudart.org.
What are notepad posts?
Notepad posts are quick ideas or observations that I share. They’re not as fully developed as my regular blog posts, but still worth passing along. Think of them as sketches—shorter, more informal thoughts compared to the more detailed, fully fleshed-out blog posts.
I wrote a bit more about notepad posts when I started them in 2021. You can also see these posts on the right column of the spudart.org homepage when viewing on desktop. (on mobile, these posts get pushed way down to the bottom).
Please note: Notepad posts will only be included in the monthly email. They will not appear in the weekly or daily emails.
Here’s how it breaks down:
Monthly newsletter
- When: Last day of the month at 7am
- Content: A collection of blog posts and notepad posts (typically around 6-14 posts)
- Frequency: Once a month
Weekly newsletter
- When: Mondays at 3pm
- Content: Blog posts only (not notepad posts)
- Frequency: 4 emails a month
Daily newsletter
- When: Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 6am (when new posts are added)
- Content: Blog posts only (not notepad posts)
- Frequency: Typically 4 emails a month, as I usually publish one blog post per week. Occasionally, there might be a bonus post, so the frequency could range from 4–6 emails a month.
I created the notepad category specifically to avoid overwhelming daily subscribers with too many emails. Notepad posts are only included in the monthly email, so you can enjoy a larger collection once a month without any extra clutter.
