| The end of the beginning. |
This will be my final post on the Blogger platform. For the past several years, Google and other search engines have been removing my posts from their databases for a variety of technical reasons that are all related to Blogger's outdated architecture. I'm being penalized for design limitations that are out of my control.
This is very strange to me, considering that Google actually owns Blogger- one would think they would want to maintain a blogging platform that worked well in their own ecosystem, but these days that's not how things go.
I am switching to Medium. I have a few post ideas planned, and I hope Medium proves to be a more hardy and sustainable home for my sporadic writing. And for what it's worth, I do not have any immediate plans to monetize my posts over there, so all of my new posts should be freely accessible to non-paying readers. (If this proves not to be the case, I will probably move elsewhere.)
Anyway, some quick links for anyone interested:
- My new blog, over on Medium: Ultimate Outsider at Medium
- My SoundCloud (cover songs and original compositions): Ultimate Outsider at SoundCloud
- My YouTube (music videos and occasional music production tutorials): Ultimate Outsider at YouTube
- My freeware tools: Ultimate Outsider Software Downloads
If you prefer to use RSS feeds to read blogs instead of browsing sites directly, there are two RSS URL formats you can use:
- Username based: https://medium.com/feed/@ultimateoutsider
- Domain based: https://medium.ultimateoutsider.com/feed

I've been following you like forever but seems this will stop as medium does not have a working/compatible RSS feed. The Old Reader gives me an access denied on https://medium.ultimateoutsider.com and https://medium.ultimateoutsider.com/feed. Never seen this before.
Hello @Mike, thanks for being a regular reader! While it's true I hadn't considered the RSS implications, it turns out there actually are two different RSS URL formats you can use. I have updated my post with them. Thanks for the heads-up! The URLs: https://medium.com/feed/@ultimateoutsider and https://medium.ultimateoutsider.com/feed
Thanks, the https://medium.com/feed/@ultimateoutsider url works fine 👍🏻
