Add nav/footer, contact form, privacy/terms drafts, first course landing page
deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 4s
deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 4s
- baseof.html: proper header/nav/footer, CSS custom properties for light/dark, button and form component styles — no external theme dependency, avoiding the submodule/version churn from the earlier PaperMod attempt. - Contact page: real form (honeypot spam protection) posting to the eec service's new /contact endpoint, replacing the plain mailto CTA. - Privacy Policy and Terms drafts — grounded in what's actually true here (self-hosted mail/course infra, no third-party trackers), flagged as drafts pending review. - courses/ section with a generic single template driven by front matter (eec_slug, pitch) and the first course, Find Your Right Readers — landing page only; the actual course content isn't authored in eec-courses yet, so enrolling will 404 until that's written. - Fixed hugo.toml baseURL (was www.reground.org, but Caddy's canonical host is the bare domain — www redirects to it, not the other way).

|

Most advice about "finding readers" is really just advice about marketing —
|
||||
ads, algorithms, funnels. This is different. Over a few short emails, at
|
||||
whatever pace you want to take it, I'll walk through how to think about who
|
||||
your right readers actually are, and how to build a real path to them
|
||||
instead of shouting into the void.

|

|
||||
_Last updated: July 2026_
|
||||
|
||||
**This is a draft.** It hasn't been reviewed by a lawyer. Review before treating it as final.
|
||||
|
||||
This policy explains what information ReGround ("I," "me") collects through
|
||||
reground.org and its related email courses, and what happens to it.
|
||||
|
||||
## What I collect
|
||||
|
||||
- **Contact form**: the name, email address, and message you submit.
|
||||
- **Email courses**: the email address you sign up with, and which step of
|
||||
a course you've reached (so the course can be delivered at your pace).
|
||||
- **Newsletter list**: if you opt in at the end of a course (or by another
|
||||
explicit signup), your email address and name, if given.
|
||||
|
||||
I don't use third-party analytics, ad trackers, or tracking pixels on this
|
||||
site. Email delivery, the course system, and the mailing list all run on
|
||||
infrastructure I operate myself — nothing is handed to a third-party
|
||||
marketing platform.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why I collect it
|
||||
|
||||
- To respond to messages sent through the contact form.
|
||||
- To deliver the email course(s) you sign up for.
|
||||
- To send periodic updates to people who've explicitly opted in — never
|
||||
as a side effect of using the contact form or taking a course.
|
||||
|
||||
## What I don't do
|
||||
|
||||
- I don't sell or rent your information to anyone.
|
||||
- I don't share it with third parties except the infrastructure providers
|
||||
necessary to run this site and send email (e.g. the hosting provider and
|
||||
its network) — none of whom get to use it for their own purposes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Your control over it
|
||||
|
||||
- **Unsubscribe**: every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link.
|
||||
Clicking it removes you from that list immediately.
|
||||
- **Email courses**: courses are self-paced with no ongoing subscription —
|
||||
once you've received the emails, there's nothing further to opt out of
|
||||
unless you also joined the newsletter list.
|
||||
- **Deletion**: email me at [hello@reground.org](mailto:hello@reground.org)
|
||||
and I'll delete your information from these systems.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security
|
||||
|
||||
Your information is stored on infrastructure I control directly, not
|
||||
handed off to third-party SaaS platforms. That doesn't make it invulnerable
|
||||
— no system is — but it does mean there's exactly one place your data
|
||||
lives, and one person accountable for it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Changes
|
||||
|
||||
If this policy changes in a way that matters, I'll update the date at the
|
||||
top of this page.

title: "Terms of Use"
|

description: "Terms for using reground.org and its email courses."
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
_Last updated: July 2026_
|
||||
|
||||
**This is a draft.** It hasn't been reviewed by a lawyer. Review before treating it as final.
|
||||
|
||||
These terms cover using reground.org, its free email courses, and
|
||||
submitting the contact form. They don't cover the terms of any paid
|
||||
coaching, ghostwriting, or consulting engagement — those are agreed
|
||||
separately, in writing, before any paid work begins.
|
||||
|
||||
## Using this site
|
||||
|
||||
This site and its free email courses are provided as-is, for informational
|
||||
and educational purposes. Nothing on it is professional advice specific to
|
||||
your situation — it's general guidance, and you're responsible for how you
|
||||
apply it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Email courses
|
||||
|
||||
Course content is mine, written for general educational use by whoever
|
||||
signs up. You're welcome to apply what you learn to your own work; you're
|
||||
not entitled to redistribute, resell, or republish the course content
|
||||
itself without asking first.
|
||||
|
||||
## No warranty
|
||||
|
||||
This site and its content are provided without warranties of any kind,
|
||||
express or implied. I make a good-faith effort to keep things accurate and
|
||||
working, but I don't guarantee any particular outcome from taking a free
|
||||
course or reading anything published here.
|
||||
|
||||
## Liability
|
||||
|
||||
To the extent the law allows, I'm not liable for damages arising from your
|
||||
use of this site or its content. If you're looking for guarantees around a
|
||||
specific outcome, that belongs in a paid engagement's written agreement,
|
||||
not these terms.
|
||||
|
||||
## Changes
|
||||
|
||||
I may update these terms as the site changes. Material changes will update
|
||||
the date at the top of this page.
