<p>Hello<p>I have been using Wordpress as my blogging platform (https://chapra.blog). I also run a newsletter via kit. Not all my posts go out as a newsletter.<p>My problem is my workflow. I compose in Notion, then copy and paste in wp. If it is a newsletter post, I also do that in Kit. This can be tedious. Which makes me write less.<p>I also sometime cross post to Medium.<p>I am looking for an alternative that:<p>- Is a working CMS that can handle both web and a newsletter.
- Can easily cross-post to Medium when wanted to.
- Works with Markdown.
- Is cheap to host.<p>Ghost looked promising, but costs 5 times my current plan for WP.<p>thanks</p>

<p>This question hasn't been asked in a while. I'm curious what is being used for your personal blogs. Feel free to answer with one word (i.e. Jekyll, Ghost), but if you're feeling generous:<p>a. When did you choose this?<p>b. Why did you choose it?<p>c. Are other blogging services on your radar? Why?<p>d. What's the one (or more) thing that you love about this blogging service?<p>e. What's the one thing you hate (or would change) about this blogging service?<p>f. Any "gotchas" or other things that you wish you knew when you started with it?<p>edit: formatting</p>
