SO I HAVE AN EXPERIMENTAL SUBSTACK UP. Here’s a test post for those who are interested. It’s set up to let you subscribe, but we’re still testing. (“We” being me, with input from Helen and the Insta-Daughter). I think the final model will open comments to subscribers, but not to the general public. We have wide-open comments already at InstaPundit, and some people have asked for a subscriber-only model to keep the trolls out. We sort of had that with the old PJ Media comment platform, but with Disqus anyone anywhere with a Disqus account can comment on InstaPundit. Your thoughts on that are welcome.

And thanks to Juliett “Baldilocks” Ochieng for being my first paid subscriber! I was quite surprised to see that come through.

UPDATE: Some people are confused, or maybe I was confusing. Whatever I do with comments over there won’t affect this place. And it’s not a replacement for InstaPundit. More of an adjunct. I’m looking for an outlet for longer-form stuff that has more flexibility than newspaper columns do.
