Put the image on the same line as the header, e.g:

## Header ![label](url) ![label2](url2)

Re: creating a mailing list for blog posts through Sourcehut lists 27 days ago

From Oliver Leaver-Smith to ~sircmpwn/sr.ht-discuss

Turning the idea on its head, I blog (rarely) by sending an email to my sr.ht mailing list, the blog composer being a subscriber of said list which performs the necessary publishing actions when an email is received. I wrote tersely about it here, happy to be contacted off-list if you'd rather

I’d just like to point out that I write mails using Apple’s Mail app, and as far as I know my messages are fine (aside from reflow I think)

It’s a behaviour thing more than a software thing

Drew has said elsewhere that opting out makes things difficult: https://fosstodon.org/@drewdevault/111754758240636929

I believe the best thing to do if you want to help financially is bump up a membership tier

I really dig your writing style! Styling point, I read mostly on mobile and there’s too much outer padding and I find the font is a touch too large

You want to remove this line from the non-www. domain as it's refreshing the page
every second :)

I love articles of this nature, it’s great to see what people use to make their lives better. 

I can also recommend miniflux as an RSS reader

The goal or target % of subscribers who have a paid subscription

In terms of the relevance of 13.37%, it's more than likely a reference
to leetspeak, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leet

There’s already a ticket I believe. 

I built a noddy service that does just that with an mbox at https://sm2r.ols.wtf/

Let me know if it doesn’t work/fit your means
