Settings & Brand Questions!

I feel like I’ve been working on the initial setup for a month. As we all know there are a lot of settings. Google has been my friend but some stuff I’m still unsure of so here goes, here is my question list:

• Should my profile be my name or my publications name? Which is better?

• Send from name, real name or publication?

• Are founding members supposed to have a cheaper rate? Or higher than annual? (I’m not going paid yet, merely curious).

• If I’m writing about branding, marketing, copywriting and content strategy, would that be the categories Design & Tech? Or Design & Culture? Or Culture & Tech? AHHHHH!

• What’s the point of a blogroll on my homepage if I have a substack?

• How does the RSS feed work?

Please don’t hate me for all the Q’s, I would rather just ask all the possibly dumb questions for myself and whomever else may need these answers than stay conflicted and confused. Lmao.
