Another valuable post, Claire! Thanks for sharing. I haven’t checked out the new dashboard yet as I’ve been a little burnt out this last month. Hoping to get back to Substack fully when the children return to school tomorrow 🤞🏻
You are always so generous with everything you share. My brain can feel a little overwhelmed. But I also love the quick wins you share with us like this one. Gratitude to you
Valuable as always, Claire. I have to admit I’m feeling a little overwhelmed in this space and wonder if I’ll really be able to make the most of it if I’m checking in once a week and posting once a month. But it’s a decision I made to support my energy and the changes that are afoot! Now I’m off to see if I’ve claimed my handle. I’ve had such a topsy turvy week I can’t remember whether I’ve done it or not 🥴
What is the difference between chats and threads and notes and all the things?
I just can’t unpick that in my brain...
I’m just writing and enjoying people talking to me in the comments... I dunno
Maybe once we decide that we all live here now and I leave the rest of the platforms behind then I’ll be able to explore it more 🥰
Also!! The notification when someone edits a post you’re tagged in - the email you get is so unclear and I didn’t know what was happening so thank you for explaining 😂❤️
I love your conversation writing style so much. I can easily exhaust myself doing more. Like you, I have multiple passions. I love writing, speaking, sewing, creating 3D art is my thing, oh and, experiences.
I'm very grateful to have found you on substack. I'm here healing myself from the mean world of Medium. Okay, I had some nice connections there, too. But I'm introverted and highly sensitive. The energy at substack is way better for my type. I don't need negativity. I need positive vibes and support. A lot of support!
Thank you for all you're doing to help newbies like myself.
Thanks for the mention, Clare! I, too, have ambitions to dive properly into the selection curated on Memoir Monday over the weekend... Let's compare notes afterwards.
As always, such a valuable post. I wonder, how do you keep up with all that you’re doing on here? There’s so much that you share about what you’re reading and the features you’re exploring as well as writing articles and sharing notes! I love substack hugely but I find I can’t even scratch the surface of all the things I’d like to do here!!
In the note of editing a post, I did something similar with one of my very first blogs from my website that I’d imported - the platform allowed me to edit and send it out and I also amended the original date so that it shows at the top of my page.
On threads, I thought they’d been replaced by chats - I did read an article about it and I don’t know if I’ve seen the thread button so will go take a look when I’m at my computer. I’m not sure how they differ from articles and I’m curious, and I so wish that you could share pictures in the comments.
I claimed my handle but I’m having a dilemma about whether I should be @thomkatpictures, which is my business name and my handle across all platforms, or @emilycharlottepowell, which was also offered as an alternative...
anywhooo - sorry for War and Peace!! 😝 have a lovely Friday 💛
Webrings! I do remember those! The latest iterations I remember participating in were called blog hops and link ups. I remember so much beautiful and generous cross pollination in those days and love seeing it buzzing around again. 🐝
I'm reimagining my link up / sharing post for next week and also planning something special featuring my Companionship members come autumn. 🍁
I think maybe the idea of threads is we post a short prompt and the point is the discussion itself? I haven't decided if my link up will be a thread or a post yet. 💫
So much good advice here Claire! Trying to get my head around Notes/Chats/Threads has been driving me a little bit crazy!

Thanks for this! Just claimed my handle 🤩
I really enjoy reading your informative posts Claire! They are truly so helpful ✨
And thank you so much for the mention!! 🥳 I appreciate it 🤗 You are such an encouragement in this space and am grateful for you! 💛
I've claimed my handle, thanks Claire!

Hi Claire,
I love your conversation writing style so much. I can easily exhaust myself doing more. Like you, I have multiple passions. I love writing, speaking, sewing, creating 3D art is my thing, oh and, experiences.

Gosh, I didn’t know thread was it’s own thing. I’m going to have to dig into that more, because I don’t quite get how it’s different.
That is a most beautiful sign!

thanks for the Fictionistas shout out!
Claire when Substack recommends your post in the Explore section do you get a notification about it?
Thanks for all these great tips and suggestions. The thread/chat one was especially helpful!
