Mailchimp is dead to me, but one site was littered with mailchimp subscribe forms.

What to do?

Mars Edit - search for form - get list of entries - For each post copy and paste over MChimp html with Substack block

Clean site with new subscription in less than 10 minutes.

@JohnPhilpin very nice! In defence of Gutenberg, reusable blocks help make this sort of thing easier. Save the block when you’re setting it up, reuse it in a blank post and edit it, changes sync everywhere it’s used. There are many reasons not to like gutenberg of course but I do like this feature.

@ChrisJWilson oh that is exactly how I have the block .. it is set up as a reusable block for going into the future .. this was to fix the legacy of old posts and pages.

Interesting addendum ... all the pages and archive posts were in classic mode ... but pasting the block code in at the end .. or in the middle just worked.

@ChrisJWilson used it for years ... excellent for keeping micro.blog consistent ... eg posting two pictures from the Mac app .. post seperately, copy and paste code from one post to second, delete first post .. like this search across all your entries for posts , cleaning up historical posts, category management on micro blog, local copies of everything you have out there .. Inc tumblr ... endless stuff really.
