Squirrel Notes
Squirrel Notes is an email newsletter about CMS and content technology.
- 61 issues have been sent since January 2018.
- A new issue is sent every 21 days, on average.
- The most recent issue was sent to 690 people.
- Each issue has five notes. The average note has 3 links to other resources.
- The average issue is 554 words long. It should take less than two minutes to read.
The newsletter is designed to be low-commitment, low-overhead:
- I will never send you anything other than an issue (again, only about once every 21 days)
- The list is securely managed in MailChimp. The list will never be sold or rented to anyone. I don’t even look at the list myself.
- Every issue has a clear unsubscribe link. I don’t monitor unsubscribes, so I’ll never know if you come or go.
- There’s no business angle to the newsletter. It’s not commercial, and there’s no advertising. (Although, I have considered offering a single job posting ad per issue in exchange for a donation to charity. Maybe someday.)
In late 2018, I wrote a long blog post about the newsletter and the thought process behind it: Squirrel Notes: The First Year
Every issue of Notes is available below.
