Jayshree, thanks for the post. Helpful for sure. Just as an intro, I have been writing on Medium for the last 2 years now. Very new to Substack. Let's stay connected.
Thanks Jayshree, super helpful! Just a quick add on re navigation - you now need to scroll down to 'branding' in settings and then hit 'theme' ;) It's probably been changed since this post was published.
Very helpful post for us. I've been trying to figure out how to present a better 'main page'. I'll follow up on your suggestions.
Great to hear. Thanks.

Thank you. I am on Medium too @jayshreegurururaj
This is great. Just started following you also. Here's my medium profile: https://medium.com/@wordsmithwriter
Great information. I wish I had this when I originally set up my stuff, would have helped a lot!
Thanks for the feedback, Matthew. It helps me to know that as I try and simplify it to the bare essentials.

Glad to hear it, Alexia! Yes, the settings are moving, and design is now split into base and advanced. Appreciate the update for other readers as well.

Thank you Jayshree; will check it out. Every bit of intel helps!
This was a very helpful post! Appreciate it as I begin my journey on Substack!
Glad to hear it, Wendy! Thanks.
This does not work? There is no layout option, at basics it does not say 'site design'
They changed stuff around in the last couple of months, and added new advanced options. Site layout options are now under 'Branding'!
Thanks Jayshree - great tips. D
Great! Thanks for the feedback, it helps me a lot.
This is the third post of yours I bookmark, 😃
Thank you for that! Glad it is useful! :-)
.. as always - thanks !
Key for Me is first & foremost ‘ noticeability / visibility ie ‘Presence’ - ‘i exist’
All else flows from that .. or else no transaction occurs
thus ‘Notes’ is my flag a flyin & my ‘one hand waving free’
.. the ‘salamander Brand’ migrated here from Twitter
& my eclectic ‘Content’ aside from various ‘Spotlighting’
of others’ various ‘Media’ that wows, inspires, informs or stuns me
is a personal blend from WordPress endeavours - Docu and/or Fiction
plus hundreds of Short Fiction & what I call ‘Memoir Stylings’
which I currently write via the app called Bear
rather than misc earlier text apps reaching back to
the era of Command Line Interface & usenet
I figure people have differing ‘goals or ambitions’ here eh !
zero interest myself re pen pals, fan clubs, cult followers
& at 72 can make more in one day house painting or deck staining
than 99% of us will ever earn here..
Your assistance is precious..
& since my bag is ‘Culture & Technology’ & weighted ‘Culture’
& your bag is seemingly weighted re Technology’
we meet at the ‘meridian’ .. most intriguing!
