It's simple enough, purchase your new domain through Squarspace, and make it your primary one, and leave your existing domain as is. Using multiple domains connected to the same site.

Traffic to your old domain will not automatically move to your new one, not through the search engines anyway unless you keep it pointed to your site. You can make your new domain the primary domain and it will show up in the browser bar of anyone who visits, the old one will change to the new one, and the search engines will eventually catch on to the change. At some point in the future, you should be able to deactivate the original domain if you find that desirable.

After looking at the site, I think the testimony page is a standard page with text blocks and image blocks. Each image block shares the same link as the more button under the text which is a link to the full-sized video on its own page. I based that on the URL of each full-sized video. I believe I can duplicate the summary block-like item and link a read-more button to a video on a Squarespace site.

The Link is to a WordPress site. I don't think that the client testimonials are in a typical blog summary block. I think it is either a custom-designed page with a link to a separate page for each video or the summary blocks are pulling from a gallery-like page that allows videos in the excerpt. With code you might be able to substitute an image with a video but I wouldn't bet on it here.

Looks like it works on a laptop with Chrome.

Paul is right. In my opinion, his explanation is a good reason why 7.1 doesn't have FE operating for Blog pages.

Correct Custom CSS should work with any plan.

It is being generated outside the text block?

Facebook will only allow push to a business page not a personal profile.

Can't you just delete the line feeds in the text block?

Use a spacer block, push the image to one side, then add a text block to the side of the image and you should be able to delete the spacer block.

I use two blog pages. Blog Number One is where all my posts are, and they each have a group category or categories, depending on the number of items I want on a page, more than 30 require more than one category. For example: I might give Soul Stories to the first 30 items and Soul Stories 2 to the next 30. This is my main blog page and goes into the unlinked section of my site. All my blog posts reside there. The second blog page is in the main section of my site and contains only summary blocks in the posts. There can be multiple summary blocks in each post and they are filtered using the categories as mentioned above to pull content. Each post in the second blog (remember this is my front-facing blog page) has a category and the archive block pulls content from the second blog page, and the subject in the menu matches the category that I gave the post with the blocks containing those posts from blog number one. So the steps are as follows: Create a Second blog page Give all your posts in blog number 1 a category grouped by subject. If that subject has more than 30 posts then give the ones above 30 an xxx 2 category. Create posts in blog number 2 with a post for each subject. In that post put summary blocks pulling content from blog number one filtered by the categories you gave those posts in blog number 1. Remember if over 30 items you will need more than one block per 30 and you will use two categories xxx 2 etc, Give the posts in blog number 2 the category that will appear word for word in your archive block. Create the archive block pulling content from blog number 2 grouped by category. I use the drop-down layout. Put blog number 1 in the unlinked section of your site, Put blog number 2 in the linked section and give it the nav title you wish to show up on the menu bar. Also, you can create a post in the second blog for featured posts from blog 1. I put this at the top of the page. You create a block pulling content from blog 1 and do not filter by category, filter by featured posts and then when you toggle that option in a post from blog 1 it will show up in this post. It is a good way to get your newest post to be at the top and also a way to feature an older blog that you think deserves some new attention. The blogs cannot share the same nav name, page name, or URL slug. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to come back here and ask me. Derrick

It is an eternal link that gets configured when you tell the summary block where to pull its content from during the block setup. You will see a menu of source content, which can be from any blog page if you have more than one, or products from a store page, etc. https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/206543337-Summary-blocks

I simply copy my post URL from the browser address bar and paste it into Facebook or Pinterest.

I don't know of any code to do this. I think it is possible as an image but not text. You make an image of your title vertically aligned then upload it as a logo and use it with no text title.

It could be an internal Defender firewall issue on their end.

I use Grammarly but it checks my spelling and grammar on the fly. I don't need to copy and paste it anywhere. I use the Grammarly Chrome extension, and my spelling is checked on any site I use text including this post. You can try it and use it for free: https://www.grammarly.com/browser/chrome

Iframe is well known to cause errors on a Squarespace website. Here is a guide to embed it without errors, most of the time. https://www.makingthatwebsite.com/how-to-add-iframe-to-a-squarespace-site/

I am not sure what you are asking. Are you looking to post the text as an excerpt? It would be helpful to see your blog and get a better idea of what you want.

I suspect your SSL certificate had not made its way through the web yet. It takes at least a few hours for that to happen.

You need to post the site address if possible, makes it a lot easier to help.

You can add this to the footer of your site in a markdown block and it works for all plans and sites: <p><a href="#top" class="t-top"><span class="arrow"></span>Top</a> <style> /* Back to Top */ .t-top { font-weight: 500; letter-spacing: 2px; font-size: 15px; text-transform: lowercase; text-align: center; line-height: 1.6; padding-left: 2px; padding-top: 4px; position: fixed; right: 25px; bottom: 60px; width: 40px; height: 40px; z-index: 999; background-color: transparent; color: #000; filter: drop-shadow(8px 8px 8px #666666) } .t-top .arrow:before { font-family: 'squarespace-ui-font'; font-style: normal; font-weight: 300; font-size: 20px; line-height: 1; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; content: "\e02d"; text-align: center; display: block; vertical-align: middle; transform: rotate(-90deg); cursor: pointer; margin-left: -4px; filter: drop-shadow(8px 8px 8px #666666) } .t-top .arrow {display:inline;} </style></p>

The configuration menu was re-designed sometime ago, and many of us could not immediately find the design menu or page listing at first.

I think they are suggesting Brine or Bedford because the look of 7.1 is based on the Brine family and Bedford inspired the Brine family. Both like 7.1 have page sections, and parallax scrolling if you want it. 7.1 is a major configuration design tool change from 7.0 but if it is the look you want, then Brine will be a much easier "upgrade" to make. If you switch to Brine I would stay with it. It is considered by many professional web site designers to still be the best template on the web.
