#2This looks great. Everthing (at least) I want for a very reasonable price.

#3I like it. Looks great in reader mode, too. Not that you really need it. I think posts should have a link to the previous/next post in the blog. And I wonder if there is custom CSS.

#6Edit: leaving up as an embarrassing reminder to myself fully rtfm before opening my mouth. I thought this did NOT have comments and sub by email but it does. Glad y’all provided me with some feedback to realize I was wrong.

Original comment:
I don’t get it. If you want to write and don’t care how much you’re read, write privately (Google Docs, a journal, text file, etc.)
If you’re writing publicly presumably it’s for public consumption. The way you know if your writing is read is through feedback - comments, shares, email subs, etc.
Feedback on your writing both helps you understand where you need to think more deeply about what you wrote AND provides valuable positive reinforcement: somebody is reading what you put into the world.
Not providing hooks for these seems to defeat the purpose of writing in public.

Maybe consider that you're not their target audience.

Not sure what kind of feedback you want?
They have comments and they have (local) analytics. What more do you expect from a blog?

I’m trying to understand who the target audience is.
Phrasing my comment a slightly different way: what’s the point of writing *in public* if you don’t get feedback?
