R' Slifkin, I think you'll find the Substack platform to be easier to manage and also easier on the eyes than your former setup, though I think they may have length limitations you could run up against once in a while.

Kol ha-Kavod to your daughter, I wish her all the best.

To new beginnings, for her and for you!

(and her former Chavruta in Lod is my nieces' best friend, so we're practically related now :-) )

This will be an adjustment for me, but so was the last time you switched formats, and it ended up fine. Can you include a widget with recent comments as is found at say, cross-currents? That makes unnecessary to "search" posts for new comments. Thank you.

Sorry to say, but FEH!

**Hate the new layout!

**All comments are gone, which were very important to me!

**Too much going on in the page, very distracting!!

**Can't speak for others, but you're probably going to lose me as reader!

I'm just taking a moment to appreciate the blog without all the horrifying comments.

I don’t understand the comments here (and on the final “Blog Migration” post on the old format) decrying Substack’s comment section/system…

How is this comment section/system any different than the previous one?
