Your article flashes me back to my high school days. Thanks for that journey back through time. I saw one of the news networks do a piece on him when he passed away. I think what stuck out with me the most were the number of songs that he was associated with. Very cool indeed!

Oh, there are so many throwback memories from this article, Alison! Thank you so much for the journey down memory lane. I'll know what I'll occupy my mind with during a drive later :)

When you publish your post, you can select who gets to comment. There are toggle buttons there for “anyone” can comment or “paid subscribers only.”

If you want to deliver specific commentary for paid subscribers only, I think you can do something with the email headers or footers for paid subscribers? I haven’t fooled around with that much - but you can go and change those for each post. I have my newsletters go to both of my emails and recently noticed the different headers (one is free and one from the account I use to publish so I guess that’s considered paid hahah) I had initially set up for paid and free subscribers. I have also noticed in a couple that I have “comped” subscriptions to that some of the content will only be in the email, not in the post when I view it through the app.

Thanks, Kristin! Appreciate having you as a reader. It seems like if I try to add anything for paid-only subscribers, it defaults to "allow comments from paid subscribers only." But I probably just need to keep experimenting / playing with it more. P.S. Enjoyed your Tracy Chapman story!

Thank you!

Yeah, I haven’t played around too much with settings since I don’t really have more than a couple of paid subscribers lol 😂 I also can’t manage to publish frequently enough to encourage/warrant people to pay.
