Thankyou - I have an email header but this has caused me to rethink and perhaps recalibrate. I love your posts

This was incredibly helpful. I just used this with a friend to create a new email banner for my Substack. Thank you!

I always wondered how to make an email banner and my brain would freeze up when I thought about dimensions and pixels. My eyes are unglazing now. Will try your suggestions. Thank you Kristi - this was helpful!

It's not that complicated. Just go to Canva and search for Twitter banners. Customize the ones you see or start from a blank canvas

I don't have that button. Is it only available in the app or only when you have paid subscription on?

Excellent insight! I played around with our banner a year or two ago, and created some new ones, and then I kept forgetting to change them when I posted, so I stopped. Anyone else experience that and have any tips? Probably keep a checklist or something -- I just wish Substack would remind me like it does with the subscribe buttons!

Yah i think you mostly have to write it on your calendar...so manual lol.

I only change mine with the seasons and holidays. New Years is over so I suppose maybe Valentine’s will be next 😁
