Back to the spicy…
As I mentioned previously, I am still working on my 11ty stack and getting the starter framework from 1.x to 3.1.1 with a goal to migrate over within the next few months. Then I started wondering if I was reliant upon a macro tool and disabled to see if I really wanted the text replacement or not. As of Day 2 for this experiment, I miss it. I might plunk down for a full version of Alfred 5.5 or explore other tools that have been recommended in my various Slack deep web communities. Ah, the never ending search for a toolchain or workflow optimizing time saving sprocket continues… 🐿️
In other news, while checking on settings for my various web properties, I realized my Google Tag had been removed from Netlify code injection. So, I have no idea what traffic has been on the flow and paths taken side of my writing. 🧐
This is a small problem to fix by simply adding back the Google Tag within the header partial for my 11ty framework. So, it isn’t a big deal to get back to where I was before the change. I don’t recall exactly why I made the change but it was in late 2023. Or was that just a naming convention and I had forgotten or maybe I made a mistake and got distracted? 🤔
The reason I bring this up is that statistics will matter to me each month as I decide how Fudge Sunday and Hot Fudge Daily help Cuthrell Consulting. As such, I am learning from others that have succeeded in this newsletter space. I have been bookmarking other successful newsletters landing pages and their sponsorship pages as a collection of ideas to test and consider for both Fudge Sunday and Hot Fudge Daily — and sponsorships tend to favor those newsletters with strong analytics stories to tell. 🚀
For now, I will be keeping up the Digest format for Fudge Sunday that captures Hot Fudge Daily for the week prior. ⌨️

A quick message from Lida:
With 18 years building, marketing, and scaling products at startups, I work with founders and leaders stuck between where they are and where they need to be. I help you cut through the noise, make sharper decisions, and get your team executing with clarity instead of chaos.
Most founders mistake complexity for strategy. They keep adding when they should be subtracting. When I'm brought in, the team is usually doing a lot right, and the real issue is focus and direction. I diagnose what's actually going wrong across product, positioning, and execution, then reset direction and get everyone aligned around one clear path forward that will lead to growth.
A bit of what I've done: I was the first PM on a fintech product that hit 10,000+ users within months, built a national incubator that supported over $500M in startup funding, and led teams at 23 Design before it was acquired by frog (the design team behind Apple’s first products). I've spoken at Google, Microsoft, and LinkedIn, etc.
