when can I set a substack's properties?

[Dan Shafer]

I suspect it'll be just fine in the standlone. I've done this a few  
times as I recall and haven't seen any negative consequences.

Another way of doing this -- I mention it because when I do, people  
often say, "I didn't know you could do that!" -- is to use the open  
invisible option on the substack.
