  1. Do you want the all-new design features of 7.1? The reason I ask is that the 7.1 blog page, where a podcase resides,  does not use Fluid Engine.  The layout options for a 7.1 blog are the same as in 7.0, the classic editor, using spacer blocks, etc. 7.1 Color palettes and Fonts are grouped in site styles and are easier to work with.  However, if you are moving to update your blog page I would experiment with a 7.1 blog page before making a move to it.

    I am still using Avenue myself, but have greatly modified my blog pages with CSS Code. 

  2. 1.8 em is 28.8 pixels. 1.3 em is 20.8 pixels not sure exactly where you would change the summary block line-height but you can try this, 

    .summary-excerpt p {
     line-height:  29px !important;
    }

  3. I think that if you assigned authors to your posts as a  category, you can link that cat to your accordion file as a menu item.  Each author would be a separate cat of course and open on the same page if your link editor open in new window toggle is off. 

  4. Sorry about that, your site looked like 7.1 to me. 7.0 does not have the same design options so this should take care of your text, place in custom css:

    .summary-excerpt p {
      font-size: 16px !important;
    }

  5. I tested the Basil template, it seems to have a quirk. In draft mode,  the edit page background does not follow the set page color but the heading text does. If you need to see it, you can change the heading color to black, once done change it back to white. I did discover it is not completely invisible depending on my monitor contrast setting. 

  6. My site is Avenue also a 7.0 site. You can build the grid view. What you see with my blog is a combo of two blog pages working together. You don't have to do that. A normal page with summary blocks each with as many as thirty posts can be chained together on one page.

     My actual posts are in one blog in the unlinked section of my site and I have summary blocks in the second blog which is my front-facing blog. The menu pulls from the second blog using categories and the page refreshing is unavoidable due to the fact a category creates a new URL that acts like its own page.

    If you don't want the page to be refreshed, then create a blank page, and put your summary blocks there. Each block will filter your blog by a separate category. Use an accordion block at the top of the page and in the block are anchor links, each link is connected to its summary block, and when clicked on will jump down the page to that block. 

    As asked about someone reading a blog, clicking on a category, and then a summary block appearing with all the posts in the category, you can do that with a link to the block in the post, but the page will refresh, not any way that I know of to get around that without the summary block being in the post itself, but you would have to duplicate that for all the posts in that category. 

    Becca may have a better way to do this. 

  7. You will need to install this free extension in Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/squarespace-id-finder/igjamfnifnkmecjidfbdipieoaeghcff?utm_source=ext_app_menu

    You need it to capture the block id for either summary block or blog list. The number you capture will replace the #block-yui  number in the following CSS code snippets.

    If you use a summary block page as your front facing blog page you can disable the click through with this code: 

    Add to Home > Design > Custom CSS .

    div#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1586258692844_46879 .summary-item {
        pointer-events: none;
    }
    div#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1588756434915_12075 .summary-item {
        pointer-events: none;
    }

    To remove click through from blog list items use this code:

     

    #collection-5c90f4a40cf57db23ae74c6c {
     .BlogList {
       pointer-events:none !important;
     }
     .BlogList-item-readmore {
       display:none !important;
     }
    }

    3) I'd like to be able to put a "flexible" summary block on my site. That is, a summary block that generates in response to user input. For example, someone visiting my site selects a blog category from one of my blogs, and a summary block automatically generates right there on the page to show posts from that category. Is this possible with code?

    I am doing something like what you want now. I use a pull-down menu of blogs by subject, you click on any one and all posts show up with that subject in a summary block. I did not use code to create this. However I am hiding the category in each post with code and I changed the design of my summary block items with code, which was written by Becca and added to some of my code. You can see it here:

    Just click on the blog button and then pick a subject from the menu if you wish.

     

  9. You need to change the heading font color shade in site styles. You edit the page and if using 7.1 template click on the paintbrush in the top right corner, choose colors, and then the button under "this page". Then click the text heading you want to change, the menu on the right will jump to the correct size and allow you to adjust the palette shade color there. 

    If you are using a 7.0 template, I would need to know which one, site style menus are different for each family of templates.

    Hi everyone, 

    I'd like to start by clarifying that when you transfer a domain to be hosted by Squarespace, this doesn’t automatically transfer your email hosting to Squarespace as well. Domain and email hosting are two different services. 

    If you already have a custom email address setup for your domain, you can keep it with the company through which you set this service up if you would like. While transferring your domain to Squarespace you were given the option to transfer your email account’s MX records (the records responsible for handling your email), which allow you to keep using the email service. However, you will need to make sure that you keep the email service active with your provider, so you can be able to keep using it. As a note, if you keep the email service with them, you’ll still manage your email account with your original provider.

    Before transferring your domain to Squarespace, we always recommend contacting your current email provider to ensure that there won’t be any restrictions or issues by moving to Squarespace. We also recommend backing up any essential emails, contacts, or settings you may need.

    There might be some downtime on your email during the transfer. Check this FAQ on our help center more specifics. 

    To stop using your email provider and move your email account to Squarespace, you can create a Google Workspace account that’s managed through your Squarespace site. This allows you to keep the same email address, but creates an entirely new account with new inboxes and billing managed by Squarespace. There are more details on this setup in this help article

    For any further questions you might have about this, feel free to reach to Squarespace Customer Support for personalized assistance.
