> 1. Will updates to the signature component show changes on published articles, or only on new ones?

Updating the signature will change it across all posts, including previously-published ones. Of course, for any posts that went out via email, subscribers will still see the old signature in their email inbox.

> 1. Can I manually designate the image to be used for OG data for each post, or is it always the first one to appear?

Besides setting your [blog-wide social image](https://write.as/updates/want-more-control-over-how-your-links-show-up-on-social-media), for now it’s always the first image in a post that will appear. Please feel free to write in #Feedback > Feature requests if you’d like to see more control over this! Maybe we can make it happen.

> 1. Is there way to add a “copy link” button to posts for easy sharing?

Shouldn’t be too hard with a little custom Javascript. Will need some time to get back to you on that.

That code should be online again!

> 1. I can’t use my own custom font using @font-face because of the CORS policy. Is there a way to get around this so I can use my own font in the custom CSS?

There’s an old discussion about hosting a custom font on your own server to work around this: [Font hosting? - #3 by plejer](https://discuss.write.as/t/font-hosting/3815/3). Would something like that work?

A while ago, @dino made a script for generating an Archive page: [Creating a title index page? - #2 by cjeller1592](https://discuss.write.as/t/creating-a-title-index-page/1448/2). Maybe that would help get you started? Or were you trying to create something else?

Unfortunately there isn’t. The browser’s Developer Tools would be your best bet for now. But our [CSS.horse](https://css.horse) tool might help – it lets you preview your custom theme in real-time. Then you can just copy your CSS from that tool into your blog’s _Custom stylesheet_ field on Write.as and save the changes.
