It’s unavoidable. I’ve edited a few versions of Instagram for Dummies as well and sometimes you’re at the finish line then they roll out Highlights or Notes 🥹

I hope we get to do a second edition of #BlueskyForDummies so we can get into a few more functions and updates from the last few months.

Thank you for sharing! I’m so happy our book is in libraries. Vancouver, Burnaby, and Coquitlam have it around here.
