I’m just going to waffle back and forth about how much control I want over my website for a while. Thanks for your patience.

People of Micro.blog, please hit me up with resources for a beginner to:

  • Creating themes
  • Having an index page that is not your blog page

Thank you very!

In grand Kimberly tradition, I am going back on the whole archiving my blog plan, for reasons. Thank you so much for sharing with me where you read my blog!

Hi friend! Can you please let me know whether you are seeing this in/on:

Reply where you see it or e-mail me. Thanks!

I’m re-evaluating my online presence, so in the new year I will be changing the URL for my micro.blog site to archive.kimberlyhirsh.com and don’t plan to post anything new here until I’ve figured out my next move.

📚 Authors of children’s books, I am begging you: PLEASE have a newsletter. It’s hard for librarians to keep up with all your new releases and this would make it easier.
