Own Your Web – Issue 8: On a Roll

Published: January 29, 2024 00:36

Hi All! 🤗 “Where have all the websites gone?” “Websites, as we know them, are dead.” “Blogging is dead.” I don’t know about you, but whenever I hear or read statements like that in controversial headlines or viral posts, I can’t help but think: “No! All of…
