Inspired by many of the great photos on Micro.blog, I’m changing up the newsletter format today to just include recent photo thumbnails. Also borrowing heavily from Smokey’s This Week on Micro.blog.

@manton That was a really fantastic selection of photos (and a great way to encourage the photo-loving community to make their blogs—and Micro.blog—their home) 👍 Congrats to everyone whose amazing photo got a feature 👏

@manton awesome idea!

@manton was that entire post made with Sunlit?

@Gabz No, I could've saved time if I did it that way, but for some reason I started by making the newsletter in Mailchimp by hand and then copied it after the email was sent. Next time will use my own software or better automate it so I can include more photos. 🙂

@manton Thank you, I feel suitably honoured!

@manton @Gabz It did look like a Sunlit-style post 😃

If anyone is interested, the AppleScript I use as part of my weekly recaps is here—generally usable, but still a bunch of small issues to work through (WordPress emoji images 😡!)…. Automation is key when trying to do this weekly, given the trememdous number of amazing images Micronauts publish each week 😜

@manton that IS a great idea. One of m.b’s great strengths as far as I’m concerned is the “effortless” way pictures blend in with other content. And by effortless I mean “bullet-sweating attention to detail” - also: thanks 🙏
