Happy Summer is coming to a close month! In the US, schools across the country are starting back, and with any luck the heat wave will disappear! I’m tired of breaking records!

Big thanks to all who submitted prompts! There were a few specific dates, along with a few that were similar. I’m trying to give credit where credit is due, but if I miss you, let me know.

Starting August 1st, Medium’s new algorithm kicks in and writers are rewarded when people stay on their page for 30+ seconds. For those who tag other articles at the beginning of your story, you might want to move them to the middle or put them at the end so readers don’t click away immediately.

From the blog announcing the changes:

We’re now going to start including more engagement signals as well: claps, highlights, replies, and follows. For the purposes of earnings, only the first clap/highlight/reply/follow will be counted, and subsequent engagements by the same person won’t increase earnings.

Tag your stories.
