Changes Here At The OG “WhenEFTalks”

So, many of you reading this have likely already figured this out; but over the past several months I’ve made a shift in my longform writing. It used to be the primary place I’d write was here, at my own “When EF Talks.”

But some months back, I started writing at Substack. And, I’m not gonna lie, the engagement there is something I have to pay attention to. That said, given the way digital platforms morph and change, I don’t trust Substack to be around any longer than other platforms. And so, I still also like having control of own place, here.
(Reminder: This incarnation of “When EF Talks” is already the THIRD over the years…)


So, I think what’s gonna happen is this: I’m shifting the primary writing to Substack, but will archive-post here, so that I’m assured of having an archive I can control. I’ll update an archive here…um…as I can get to it. (That’s the best I can do…)

But, so you subscribers to the OG “WhenEFTalks” (you, reading this now) won’t feel left out, I’ll also post a link HERE each time I post an actual essay THERE.

Make sense?
Who knows?

But it seems like a good plan.

So, look for fewer original/current writing here…but continue to find the archive here…and links here….when I can get to it.

And, wherever you read me, thanks so much for reading.
