In this guide, we’ll walk you through the tools that you have to add polish and personality to your website and to organize your posts, creating an easy-to-navigate experience for readers.
My branding has colors and fonts. I can set the color codes but the font selection is pretty limited. It would be great to support Google Fonts at least. No need for fancy custom fonts, but one should be able to use the name of a Google Font (which is distributed via CDN across the globe, without a serious performance hit).
Fonts allow giving a true character and feeling on top of the colors. I wish substack adds this feature.
I know it might sound stupid, but one of the few reasons considering NOT to use substack is the wordmark being so small and that there is no option to make it bigger.
Useful stuff for sure. But a plea to you Substack boss honchos: fix up your searchabilty. How come peeps can search on google for my exact post title, a phrase or even a Newsletter name, and get absolutely NO success. I can't even get a result using Substack's own search function to search for my own posts.
Thanks so much for the great info! I have an issue, which is that I can't seem to change my social image. I've uploaded a new one, it shows up, saved it, etc. but when I get a Share link, the old image keeps appearing. It's maddening! What I'd really like to do is delete the old social image which Substack seems to have saved somewhere but I can't for the life of me see where after looking for hours. Any help would be much appreciated!
I need to know how Elle Griffin is able to display two rows of "Most Recent Posts" right below her hero post. Also, how she gets 4 post columns in all her groups on the home page. If you look at my homepage all I get is an option for "Most popular" and they are super tiny. Also, in my groups they only run 3 columns across the page.
You know what would be useful? A feature called Categories in which readers could consult a list of topics they might be interested in (like a pet care Substack might offer categories for Dogs, Cats, Little Critters, Animal Rescue, Pet Selection, etc.
Thank you for the helpful information. I want to be able to choose a list of my most important publications that should be displayed in an appropriately labelled section on my home page. This list is not chronological and is not easily ordered based on the number of likes, views, comments, etc. Is there a way of calling viewer attention to such a list, and creating a custom list like this on the home page? Thanks again.
Hi All, I’m new to the Substack world and would love some advice on growing my readership from basically 0 followers. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Man, figuring out all this stuff about email sections and when to let people unsubscribe is a real brain-twister. I keep worrying that if I mix things up too much, everyone will just bail on all the emails they get. It's like, how do you balance giving people options with not overwhelming them, you know? It's tricky trying to come up with a game plan for this feature. For more info visit https://archive.ph/.
This is a huge help. Trying to wrap my head around sections and when to give readers the option to unsubscribe. I suppose I have a fear that doing something different will just have someone unsubscribe from everything when they get too many emails. So, I'm having a hard time with strategy around this feature.

Is there a way to add some custom text to the homepage? I'd love to add an small about section
More fonts and a bigger wordmark. Then Substack will be the perfect choice for everybody. It is really that simple
Is it possible to change the order of primary navigation so the home button is not the one farthest to the left?
