Too Long; Didn't Read
This year, I started to prioritize community building, which led to the creation of the [Ephemerata] newsletter and [The Café] forum. Seeking a hub to house everything and make it accessible with one account, I was determined to make it work with forum software and published the newsletter there as a way to have'something' happening. It's possible for me to 'build my own system' but that would take time from doing what it's designed to support, especially as a single-person operation; this might be a case where it's better to use existing parts.
