Hello Barbara. A 9am timeslot works for me. However 3am isn’t too difficult

Oh Jennifer, you're amazing. Let's see if we can't rally a crew among Kiwis and Aussies over the coming weeks. I'm more than happy to do a second session.

If it's helpful right now, you may find more answers in the Tips I wrote for Projectkin Tips: Projectkin.substack.com/s/tips-tech-tools. The video tour was outdated, so what you see here in MissionGenealogy was an edit out of the Tour I did back in January for Projectkin.

The three "levels of Substack" posts might be helpful as well. For you, I'd recommend 2 (useful tips) and 3 (about designing). I should think Part 1 is old hat to you (it's mostly about account types.)

Again, keep in mind that was written in December 2023, so I can think of several things that are out of date. Since then, Substack has introduced some "advanced" design components for websites, for example. You're also welcome to shoot me questions in DMs.

Thank you I will check it out, and also will spread the word. I'll do a shout out to Projectkin on my blog, in my end of month post, and hopefully we might get a few Aussies to join.

I am looking forward to joining you in this Genealogy Mission. I'd also like to say thank you for the overview of how Substack works. I've been blogging on Wordpress for about 12 years and have recently come to Substack,. Your article has answered my questions.

Barbara Tien does such a great job of explaining all the nuances of Substack. I'm excited about her upcoming Office Hours for Mission: Genealogy.

I fought the lion 🦁 so you don’t have to. 😎 Let’s do this! First one is scheduled for September 10… (https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIsd-qsrTsrGNIWKVnpNnb__gvFY79eH2SB#/registration)

Come to think of it, that’s a tad inconvenient for you in Australia, eh? What if we had another one the following morning for you, would that be interesting? (Sept 11, 9 AM AEST, 7 AM AWST)
