Hi Anne,
Thank you so much for offering to do this! A week or so would be just fine.
We are keen to make improvements or changes as quickly as possible, but it
does make sense to do them in batches. I should think it will be a little
while before we are ready to make the first batch of changes - so you can
take your time :)
Thanks again - the blog has just gone live and I'm about to announce the
launch on this list!
All the best,
Laura
