Under Construction 2
Rick Retro’s Realm, Behind the Scenes #27: More site-building and some good signs for the future.
Hi, everyone. Looks like we got our eleventh subscriber this morning, including myself, so we now have the same size of a community that we did before moving our text group over here to Substack. From here on out, it’s all about growth!
I apologize for all the Chat notifications you received this morning if you use the Substack app. That was a one-time structural set-up to accommodate the old reviews I’m moving over from the text group, so that we can begin chatting about new reviews as they are posted. I see no reason for that sort of thing to happen again, so no need to disable any notifications.
As I shared in the first Under Construction report, I’m still working on moving the posts from the text group over to Substack. That’s still my current Behind-the-Scenes job number one. And I still want to re-watch and re-review those to bring them to the level of the new reviews. That’s still job number three.
Behind-the-Scenes job number two, which will probably never really end, is to grow the number of subscribers. To that end, I’m currently spending some time in a Mastermind class, learning from Substack expert Ana Calin who writes “How We Grow”. It’s good stuff and makes me confident that our future will be bright. I’ll fill you in more later.
On a scheduling note, the review you were expecting this morning, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, will be released later today or tomorrow instead, depending on some time issues. I’ve got the second session of the Mastermind class to attend, and I also wanted to make sure the Chat would be ready for that review, because it’s a fun, eminently quotable movie. We will want to share our favorite quotes without spoiling it for anyone who hasn’t seen the film, if indeed there are those inclined to see it who haven’t yet!
Thanks for your support.
