A Quick Housekeeping Note

As the headline says, I want to share a brief note regarding Curb Cuts.

It’s been about a year since Forbes let me go from its contributor network and I turned to publishing this blog full-time. I created social media accounts for Curb Cuts with the intention of automatically posting links to stories as soon as I run them. It occurred to to me only recently that one of those said accounts is actually doing so, on Bluesky. Thanks to life happenings and other busyness, I never got around to connecting my bots so I don’t have to manually share my hard work all over the internet. But this morning, I hunkered down and resolved to do the work. The site’s bots are powered by web-based automation service IFTTT (If This Then That), which I hadn’t used in forever.

Now, you can follow Curb Cuts not only on the aforementioned Bluesky, but also on X/Twitter and Mastodon and the account should automatically post links to stories as they’re published on the site. It’s all done via RSS, of course—the URL for which you also can plug into your favorite feed reader if RSS makes your nerdy world go ‘round.

I’m ecstatic over finally getting around to addressing this because this move theoretically should lead to my reporting getting in front of many more eyeballs.

If you have comments, questions, or notice a bug, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
