Thanks very much, as always, for the links, Elizabeth. The one I noticed this time is the one about using Canva. I use that for some of my social media stuff, and it's fairly straightforward and intuitive to use. It lets you be creative too. Glad to see it discussed here.
I like using Canva, too. It’s definitely easy for someone like me who’s not great with design.
