This really helps! I kept thinking I needed to start double-posting all my Medium articles on a personal website to make them more accessible to friends. But I resisted the extra busywork, and now that you describe the problem from your experience it all makes sense.
I checked out your website and I LOVE LOVE the simplicity of linking to other websites like Linkedin, Amazon, Medium, Upwork from that one homepage.
I will likely use it as a model for how I set up my own website. I've always had a distaste for sites that feel cluttered. I want to have a site like yours that's calming just to look at because of how minimalistic and straightforward it is! Thank you for your example, Megan!
