    I’ve been working fleshing out the “service side” of the business a bit. Instead of building an agency site, I’m leaning into my personal branding for this.

    It’s frustrating that the full site editing experience ignores post formats, yet the only way to publish different types of posts (microposts vs blogposts) on the mobile app is with post formats. We either need custom post types in the app, or better support for post formats.

    Woke up this morning and had the most productive morning I’ve had in weeks. I literally feel lighter knowing that my GTD system is starting to get re-assembled. Thanks so much for the advice, y’all!
