Totally sucks that Digitalpress blog is still inaccessible on my end since Friday. This certainly wasn’t on my bingo card! 🤦‍♂️

I don't know who needs to hear this but DIGITALPRESS is an EXCELLENT option if you're looking for an online home for your webcomic or zine.
Beautiful templates, dead-simple set up, 1 GB free storage, super fast, no ads. You can even hook up a domain name you own for free!

I didn't know digitalpress! Looks interesting, I'll take a look. Thanks a lot!

Atariage is being bought by unofficial official Atari. I hope they hire orignal board members who know a thing or two about Atari otherwise it would be a poor mistake in gaming. Sidenote: I wonder what will happen to Nintendoage or Digitalpress (not that they're Atari).

If you want to pay absolutely nothing for Ghost hosting, there is ad-supported space on DigitalPress

www.digitalpress.blog/pricing

The big difference is DigitalPress has some very low-cost options ('Easy' tier at $1/mo but is ad-supported) but doesn't allow custom themes at that tier.

Magicpages lowest cost is $6/mo (not ad-supported) but you CAN bring your own theme or use premium themes.

DigitalPress is a great web host if you have no money.
(Ghost is easy to use and hosting costs one euro/year)

Video Game Memories #4 - Remember what I said about Montezuma getting a sequel? Well, I remember going to the store back then that sold Atari games on cassette and they had "Montezuma 2" on display. I loved the first, so I immediately bought it (Image from DigitalPress, linked at end of thread).

I think after this setback (keeping in mind I've been working on this since March) my options are:

- Managed Ghost with DigitalPress (because it would be nice to use something that's not WordPress if I can).
- Managed WordPress.
- Or self-hosted WordPress.

Here are yesterday's pickups from @digitalpress NAVA event
(There is glare on top, that game is Werewolf for NES)

The managed hosting options I would suggest you look into are digitalpress or magicpages

www.digitalpress.blog/pricing
www.magicpages.co#pricing

Both will let you have unlimited members/subscribers and enough capacity for email for how often you'd be sending out new episode.
